Coming in all shapes and sizes, with glossy, patterned and highly texture foliage, indoor plants can bring life and interest into every room of your home if chosen carefully.  With so many different, tempting species to choose from, we’ve consulted the experts and put together a list of our favorites. Low fuss and high in style and impact, these are the indoor plants to go for.


1. Monstera Deliciosa 

Monstera plants are an excellent choice for beginners, requiring only a few care considerations. To ensure that your Monstera stays in good health, give it plenty of indirect sunlight and be careful to water it only once every week or two.

2. Snake Plant (Sansevieria)

This hardy plant is almost indestructible and can survive under various conditions. It is renowned for its tall, architectural leaves that add an aesthetic appeal to any room. 

Snake Plants, also known as Mother-in-Law's Tongue or Sansevieria trifasciata, are low maintenance and require minimal watering. They can survive in low light conditions but grow best with indirect sunlight. Additionally, Snake Plants are excellent air purifiers as they absorb toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from the air.


3. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) 

Known for its fast-growing vines adorned with heart-shaped leaves, Pothos is an ideal choice for beginners. This versatile plant can be grown in hanging baskets or trained along a trellis or pole. 

Pothos thrives in a variety of lighting conditions but prefers indirect light. It requires watering only when the top inch of soil feels dry to touch. With its ability to adapt to various environments and minimal care requirements, Pothos makes indoor gardening a breeze. 


4. Spider Plant: The Pet-Friendly Choice 

If you have pets at home and are looking for non-toxic indoor plants, Spider Plants (Chlorophytum comosum) are your best bet. These plants have arching leaves that grow quickly and produce baby spider plants or 'spiderettes' that dangle down from the mother plant like spiders on a web. 

Spider Plants prefer bright indirect light but can also tolerate semi-shady conditions. They require well-drained soil and moderate watering – once per week should suffice under normal circumstances. 


5. ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)

The ZZ plant is a hardy plant that can tolerate low light and neglect. Its glossy, dark green leaves add a touch of elegance to any space. ZZ plants prefer to be watered infrequently, making them ideal for busy individuals. Go large with a 1m Zamioculcus or opt for a rarer Black Raven ZZ!
