Top Ten Easy Care Houseplants 

As an interior landscape technician for more than 20 years, I have learned which indoor tropical plants are the best houseplants. When you work in the interior plant care industry, plant care is what you do all day and everyday. Dealing with plants that are in less than optimal growing conditions has become second nature. You also learn which plants are most adaptable and durable under adverse growing conditions.

These are some of the most commonly used plants in the interior landscape industry and for good reason. Check links for more specific plantcare information.

Best Houseplants - Great Indoor Plants

Snake Plant - Black Gold

Question: I have been looking for a houseplant that is easy to care for and hard to kill. I am not very experienced with indoor plants and I have only owned a couple. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer: If you don't have very much experience with houseplants, I have created list of best houseplants for anyone on my website. These are plants that just about anyone can grow and keep indoors as they are tolerant of average household conditions and are not exceptionally hard to maintain.
Of course, if you really don't have any time to give to living plants, you may want to go with artificial plants.
However, the plants on this list require minimal attention. Some of the plants on this list are the Snake Plant, the Pothos and various Dracaenas. These are some of the easiest to care for plants that are available. Snake Plants are really at the top of the list as they will get by with infrequent watering. Of course, if you have a problem with watering your plants properly, you won't be able to keep many houseplants alive for too long.

Snake Plant Care - Sansevieria trifasciata

Question: I need to find a houseplant that is nearly impossible to kill! I am away often and forget to water my poor houseplants...I feel so bad when they die. Any suggestions?

Answer:

I don't know of any houseplants that are literally impossible to kill except, perhaps, those that are made out of silk! However, there is some good news in that the Snake Plant comes pretty close to that description. It is on my list of best houseplants for anyone for that very reason.

Sansevieria is also known by some as Snake Plant or Mother-in-Laws-Tongue. While no houseplant is totally indestructible, the Snake Plant is very forgiving if you are not good about remembering to water your houseplants.

You will need to make sure that your Snake Plant is not exposed to temperatures below 50�F as they will be damaged by cold temps.

Pothos Plant Care About Houseplants

My Pothos Marble Queen

Pothos plant is a household favorite and is on my list of the ten best houseplants, for their easy care and durability.  Also called Scindapsus Aureus or Epipremnum Aureum, they are known in some places as "Devil's Ivy". The Golden Pothos is the most common varieties. It has a glossy green leaf "painted" with yellow. It should stay that way in bright light but if kept in lower light it may start to lose some of the yellow in the leaf and show more of the green. Lower light will also mean less frequent watering of indoor plants. Other common Pothos are the Marble Queen Pothos, which is marbled with white and green with picture at bottom of page and the all green Jade Pothos. Read more...
