Do you love plants, would love to put some in your house and every time you see the typical beautiful house on Instagram, you die of envy?
If you answered yes to any of these, but you don't know how to do it because you're a mess, you're not alone. It's normal to feel a little uncomfortable if, for whatever reason, you know for a fact that you won't have much time to take care of them (or that you'll just forget).
Fortunately, there is always a broken plant for a broken plant. So there are some beautiful plants that require almost no care and can decorate your home with a touch of the exotic or beautiful. Here are a few of them.
Cacti
There's a reason they live in deserts, but they can also live in your home and decorate it a bit. Since they store water in their tissues, they adapt easily to the habitat where they grow. In summer, you only need to water them every 4-8 days, and in winter (December and January), you don't even need to water them.
In summer, it is enough to water them about every 4-8 days and in winter (December and January), it is not even necessary to water them.
Sansevieira
Also known as the “tiger's tongue”, it's perfect for adding a chic and elegant touch to your home. It needs virtually no light to grow and can stand upright even if you forget to care for it for long periods of time.
The monstera
It is very famous because it is very beautiful. It is also very easy to maintain, because it is a tropical plant, and a moderate watering is more than enough. A moderate watering is thus more than enough. It is not useless however to spray its leaves from time to time.
Golden potus
This plant also needs minimal care. It can grow with artificial light (indirect light is more than enough) and a good watering every 10 to 12 days or so. However, if you place it in a hanging basket or jug, remember to change the water once a week.
Jade
Another example that is not only beautiful but also very easy to maintain. It adapts to many environments, although it prefers direct light, and you only need to touch its soil and notice that it is dry to know if you need to water it (but don't let it dry out completely).
Every six months, water it first with water, then with a water-soluble fertilizer. It is also said to bring good luck, so it is all to your benefit.
Aloe vera
We all know its healing properties, but it's also very easy to care for and you don't have to be a canary.
Don't overwater it (every three weeks is fine), but it is a bit more demanding of light and will do best on a windowsill.
