Being outdoors can feel incredible. When you reconnect with nature and realize just how much you appreciate it, you’ll want to bring some home with you. Indoor houseplants are not only an amazing way to bring the outside indoors, but they are an easy way to quickly liven up a space.

The benefits of adding indoor plants to your home are endless. From stress relief, to brightening your space, to cleansing the stale air of your apartment, indoor house plants have multiple functions which make them a great choice for your next home decor purchase

There are multiple types and sizes of indoor house plants. Some of them are daunting, like the Fiddle Leaf Fig, but you’d be surprised to find that a number of indoor plants are relatively low-maintenance. That’s right, there are house plants even your neglect will have a hard time killing. 

Green thumb or not, the best indoor house plants are those that align with the level of maintenance you can provide. If you have a somewhat busy lifestyle, or are just generally forgetful, you might opt for some house plants that require very little watering or attention.

On the contrary, if you’re home often, consider yourself a pretty responsible adult (kudos to you), or are up for a green thumb challenge, then there are some advanced-level house plants out there for you as well. Just be sure you know which you’re buying when you’re on the hunt for your next indoor plant purchase. 

Not sure which house plant is for you? While everyone’s house plant preferences are different, we recommend shopping at a nursery local to you. Nurseries generally offer greater levels of knowledge and can help you pick the house plant that’s best suited for you and your lifestyle. Not only will you be supporting small business, but you’ll get a greater level of care instruction and customer service than you might with a big box store.

To help you pick your next indoor house plant, we’ve included some of our favorites. With a wide range of low-to-high maintenance levels, these plants are great for any home, as long as you know how to care for them.
