10 Easy-to-Get Houseplants for the Time-Lapse (10 photos)

Low-maintenance flowers are the perfect solution for those who are too busy or too lazy to tend to them often. We've compiled 10 houseplants that are tolerant of their owner's forgetfulness; they're patient, undemanding, and require almost no special care.







1. Succulents

Succulents are perennial plants with fleshy, succulent leaves or stems. They are fairly easy to care for indoors, as they adapt well to indoor conditions. To successfully grow succulents, water them several times a week, keep them in direct sunlight, and provide some drainage.





2. Ficus

The ficus is the most popular miniature tree among indoor plant enthusiasts. It doesn't require constant care, but to ensure its crown acquires a beautiful, lush green color, it requires consistent sunlight. During the period of intensive growth, it requires a fair amount of water. From spring to fall, the plant needs regular watering. In early September, watering is gradually reduced, and in winter, watering once every 10 days is sufficient.



3. Mother-in-law's Tongue

Mother-in-law's Tongue is considered an absolutely undemanding plant. It can even be kept in a dry, dusty room. Although the plant loves the sun, it also thrives in partial shade. Mother-in-law's Tongue doesn't like excessively moist soil. It should be watered very sparingly in spring and summer, and no more than once a month in winter.



4. Spathiphyllum

Spathiphyllum is a favorite among florists and gardeners. This indoor plant doesn't require much light. Spathiphyllum can be a wonderful decoration for offices and living rooms with low light. The plant's only requirements are humidity. It prefers abundant, consistent moisture and should be watered when the top layer of soil dries out.



5. Impatiens

Impatiens is a houseplant that has long been a fixture on the windowsills of plant lovers. This plant thrives in moisture; it's better to overwater it than to forget to water it. This has earned it the funny nickname "wet Vanka." Impatiens blooms best in small pots. If you plant it in a large pot, it will spend all its energy growing, and you'll have to wait a long time for flowers.



6. Ivy

Ivy is used for vertical gardening and is an ideal plant for hanging baskets. Caring for ivy indoors is simple. It thrives in both bright light and shaded areas, and tolerates dry air, dust, and short daylight hours with high winter temperatures. Water ivy generously; misting is a good idea.



7. Cacti

These are evergreen and resilient plants that can seemingly thrive in any conditions. They only need a little soil, sunlight, and a little water. Some cacti, especially young ones, bloom very frequently. The first flower may appear as early as 3-4 years.



8. Chlorophytum

Chlorophytum is one of the most popular houseplants found in almost every home. It grows well in any lighting, in virtually any type of soil, and in pots of any size. If you accidentally forget to water it, it will simply become slightly dull or fade, but it will never dry out.



9. Aspidistra

This plant can often be seen in hallways, corridors, and on the stairways of office buildings; it is also grown at home. Aspidistra is a shade-tolerant plant. It should be protected from bright sunlight. It grows well away from a window, but pushing it into deep shade is not recommended. Indoors, aspidistra rarely blooms.



10. Kalanchoe

The beneficial properties of Kalanchoe have long been known. The plant has anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. In addition to their medicinal properties, many species have excellent decorative qualities. Kalanchoe requires little effort from its owner. It accumulates water in its leaves and stems, regulating moisture reserves. Therefore, prolonged periods of water deprivation are not critical for it.
