HOW TO
Find Your Perfect Plant
Picks for small spaces, low light and forgetful folks
Snake Plant
Best for: shady spaces
This plant’s eye-catching swordlike foliage deals well with low light and little water, and it grows tall.
Golden Pothos
Best for: tricky environments
Also known as “devil’s ivy” because it’s very hard to kill, this hardy vining plant can thrive even in fluorescent light.
Cacti
Best for: low maintenance
Try growing barrel cacti, which have bright yellow spines, on windowsills. Avoid heavyhanded watering and feeding.
Rattlesnake Plant
Best for: homes with pets
The Calathea plant’s reptilian two-tone leaves are nontoxic to pets and love low light.
Succulents
Best for: bright rooms
Though they benefit from good sunlight and dry air, they typically require only weekly watering.
Bird’s Nest Fern
Best for: low-light conditions
Fern plants are ancient: Bird’s nest ferns can endure spotty water conditions, and they enjoy low light.
Heartleaf Philodendron
Best for: infrequent waterers
It’s actually beneficial for this plant to let it dry out slightly between waterings. And it has sweet heart-shaped leaves.
Fiddle-Leaf Fig
Best for: living room decor
Keep this beauty kicking with indirect bright light. Once the top inch of soil is dry, drench it until water comes out the bottom of the pot, then repeat.
