Spider plant
The Chlorophytum comosum, or the Spider plant, is a popular one because it is easy to care for and perfect for hanging. This plant loves direct sunlight but can still survive without it. Colors range from dark green to lighter green with yellow and white striping. I think of all of the indoor plants for beginners, this one has to be the easiest to deal with!

Aloe Vera plant
The Aloe Vera plant is a type of succulent and is very easy to take care of. It has thick leaves and is commonly used for its skin healing properties and it makes a great indoor potted plant, too.

Golden Pothos
My Golden Pothos, or Epipremnum aureum, has been the easiest and fastest-growing plant I own. Of all of the indoor plants that are hard to kill, the pothos can survive for quite a while with indirect light and little water. I love the vines that mine is creating, it resembles an ivy (also known as Devil’s Ivy). I plan to hang this indoor plant from a macrame hanger on the ceiling.

Rubber plant
Ficus elastica is appropriately named the rubber plant because its leaves look and feel like actual rubber. It is one of the best indoor house plants. It has shiny oval leaves, usually dark in green and burgundy hue, and does well in all forms of light.

ZZ plant
The lovely ZZ plant is actually called a Zamioculcas. These babies are known to be air purifiers, have shoots that grow tall, and can be watered once weekly. My sister has a couple of these and they are thriving in their low light spaces!

Air plants
The Tillandsia plant is called an air plant due to the fact that they do not root into the ground, but they hang in the air on branches. All they need is water and light, and since they do not have to be in any dirt, you can put them anywhere inside your home!

Snake plant
The snake plant, or Dracaena Trifasciata, is a long-lasting houseplant that looks gorgeous in any decor style. They love indirect sunlight, can grow up to 6 feet tall, and they’re known to be air-filtering plants. I am currently in the market for a tall snake plant for my bedroom. I’ll share a photo when I find one I love!
