8 Most Low-Maintenance Indoor Plants

Do you have no time to care for your flowers? No problem! We've selected eight most low-maintenance plants — they don't require regular watering, tolerate low light, dust, dry air, and drafts, and don't need frequent repotting. These indoor flowers will fit into any interior and become a worthy decoration.

1. Sansevieria

Sansevieria will delight you whether on a sunny windowsill or in a dark corner — in the latter case, its leaves will be slightly paler. This plant doesn't require frequent watering, fertilizing is not necessary, and repotting should be done every few years when the Sansevieria no longer fits in a small pot.

2. Crassula Ovata (Jade Plant)

In Feng Shui, this plant is considered a talisman bringing luck and money into the home. You can be sure that it's hard to damage this low-maintenance money tree — even for a workaholic or a lazy person. Don't place the Crassula Ovata in direct sunlight, avoid overwatering during cold months, and... wait for your budget to grow. By the way, with good care, a small Crassula Ovata can turn into a meter-tall tree.

3. Hoya (Wax Plant)

Hoya, or wax vine, is one of the few climbing plants that bloom abundantly and for a long time in indoor conditions. A west or east-facing window is suitable for a Hoya pot; its leaves may lighten and slightly dry out in direct sunlight. Don't move it around or water and repot too frequently, and this vine will entwine the entire wall with its stems.

4. Chlorophytum (Spider Plant)

If this flower is in the home of any of your acquaintances, all you have to do is detach a "baby" (a small bush hanging from the stem). Place it in water, wait for roots to grow, and plant it in soil. The chance of the Chlorophytum dying is extremely low. Even if you forget about it for a month, the flower wilts and fades but doesn't dry up.

5. Hibiscus

Hibiscus is a bushy plant with large flower cups and long stamens. The plant blooms all year round and loves the humidity and temperature typical in our apartments during winter. The only thing it needs is sunlight, so the best spot for its pot is on a windowsill. If the bright Hibiscus buds fall off, water and fertilize it: most likely, you haven't done this in a long time.

6. Kalanchoe

If you don't like spending a lot of time on flower care or often go on business trips, grow yourself a Kalanchoe. This plant grows in pots of any size, in any soil, in warm or cold rooms, on a windowsill, on the refrigerator, or on a shelf — anywhere. By the way, recently in flower shops you can find hybrids with large vibrant blooms that are well-adapted to low-light conditions.

7. Aspidistra (Cast Iron Plant)

Aspidistra tolerates both lack and excess of moisture, shade, dust, and low air humidity. Additionally, the plant doesn't need frequent feeding and hates repotting. By the way, in England, this beauty is called the "cast iron flower" due to its low-maintenance nature.

8. Euphorbia (Milk Plant)

Euphorbia is a well-known "survival specialist". It's drought-tolerant, loves warmth and light, and can decorate even the most unattractive room. Place it on an east or south-facing window and water twice a week in spring and summer, less in winter. Be careful, the sap of this plant contains a toxic substance — euphorbin, which can cause burns and inflammation of nasal and eye mucous membranes.
