How To
Most people like plants β but not all of us are talented at keeping them alive. Maybe you travel for work. Maybe youβre shuttling between households. And maybe, sometimes, you just forget to water the plants.
Luckily, lots of beautiful plants β including some Instagram superstars β know how to make do with less (attention, sunshine, water). These five plants are all low-maintenance, no-drama options β and just as beautiful as their finicky friends.

Cast Iron PlantAspidistra elatiorFor the clue, look to the name: This is an exceptionally hardy plant, which can handle a steady diet of low light and irregular waterings. It grows slowly β but give it time, and it can grow to two feet and live for years. |
Fiddle-Leaf FigFicus lyrataIn terms of the trendiest plants, the fiddle-leaf fig reigns supreme β and among its competition, itβs perhaps the easiest to care for. Just donβt overwater them - let the soil dry to an inch or two deep, then water sparingly. (Try watering every 10 days, and adjust as needed.) |
Swiss Cheese PlantMonstera deliciosaThe equally trendy Monstera deliciosa is nearly as easy to manage: Keep them on the same watering schedule β once every week or so, put them in the shower every month or so, and give them some sun, though theyβll be fine in low light as well. |
Spider PlantChlorophytum comosumSpider plants donβt need much water, and prefer indirect sun. Just watch that the soil doesnβt get soggy, and youβre good to enjoy its cheerful green-and-white leaves. One tip: If the leaves appear brown at the tips, itβs likely the result of fluoride from treated tap water β distilled or rain water can fix. |
