Introduction

The best houseplants for beginners are those that are easy to grow, don’t require a lot of maintenance and can tolerate low light.

The Pothos plant

The pothos plant is an excellent choice for beginners. It’s easy to care for, making it a perfect starter plant for people who don’t have much time or experience. Pothos plants are also great air purifiers and can help keep your home feeling fresh, clean and healthy.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant that’s easy to grow and maintain. It thrives in sunny areas of your home, with little maintenance required. Aloe Vera plants are also great for those looking to start growing their own herbs — they’re one of the best houseplants for beginners because they require minimal care, but still produce tasty fruits!

While it may seem like Aloe Vera only has one use (healing cuts and burns), this common houseplant can actually be used for many different things:

• The gel from an Aloe Vera plant can help heal wounds and burns, so it makes a great addition to any first aid kit!
• If you have an extra plant lying around (or if you feel like buying another one), try making some tea using the leaves from this herbaceous shrub! You can add honey or lemon juice if desired; either way, it’s delicious hot or cold with breakfast in the morning 🙂

Snake Plants aka Mother-in-Law’s Tongue

While snake plants are known for being easy to grow, they are also great for beginners. They’re low maintenance and don’t require a lot of care. In fact, these plants thrive in moderate levels of sunlight and will even survive in low light conditions. They can be used as decoration pieces in any room or office because they add a touch of greenery while purifying the air.

If you have pets that are prone to chewing up your houseplants, this is another reason why it’s best if you start with snake plants because your cat or dog won’t bother them at all!

Peace Lilies

• Peace lilies are great for beginners.
• Peace lilies are easy to care for.
• Peace lilies are hard to kill.
• Peace lilies aren’t very expensive, making them a good option if you don’t have much money to spend on plants.
• They can grow quite large as well, so they’ll be around for a while!

Succulents

Succulents are one of the most versatile and easy-to-care for plants. They require little water, they look great in low light and they can be propagated easily by cutting off a piece of the plant or by simply layering it into soil.

Succulents come in many shapes and sizes, so there’s something for everyone. From the tiny rosette form of an Echeveria to the tall open-branched forms of Agave species, succulents can be used as focal points in your home or office, or just as accents around plants that need more light.

Dracaena

Dracaena is a genus of about 40 species of trees and succulent shrubs, native to tropical Africa, Madagascar, southern Asia, and various islands of the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.

The most common species grown indoors is Dracaena marginata (the “dragon tree” or “red-edge dracaena”), often simply called Dragon Tree.[1] With its long canelike leaves with wide red margins, it is one of the easiest plants to grow indoors.[2] The leaves are usually about 10 inches (25 cm) long but can reach up to 20 inches (50 cm) in some cultivars.[3][4] They are typically arranged in groups at varying angles around a central stem; this gives rise to the nickname “Corn Plant”.

Dracaenas grow best in bright light but not direct sunlight; they will do fine under fluorescent lighting as well as under artificial lights found in offices and warehouses. They are also very tolerant of low humidity levels, making them an ideal plant for bathrooms and kitchens where many other plants would die from exposure to high heat or dry air. Dracaenas prefer slightly acidic soil between 5.5 pH – 6.5 pH (7 being neutral). In nature they thrive in sandy soils that drain easily but do not require much watering because they store water within their roots’ secondary xylem tissue rather than relying solely on transpiration via leaves like most flowering plants do with their primary xylem tissues which makes them better able than most other flowering houseplants at surviving severe droughts without losing their foliage until sufficient moisture becomes available again through rains or irrigation.”

Spider Plants

Spider plants are a great addition to any home. With their long, wiry stems, these beauties can be used as hanging plants or left on the ground. They have dark green leaves that resemble spiders’ legs and make an excellent housewarming gift for your friends who love plants and animals.

Before you get excited about growing spider plants, there are some things you need to know:

• Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum): The common name of this plant is “spider plant” because its leaves look like spider’s legs. This perennial herb has green leaves that grow up along the stem in pairs with one smaller pair below two larger ones; pinkish white flowers often appear in late winter or early spring depending on where they’re growing; grows well indoors or outside if grown in dappled sunlight but prefers filtered sunlight such as under a tree canopy; can grow between five to eight inches tall when grown indoors but could reach up to four feet high outdoors when planted directly into soil; likes moist soil but shouldn’t be allowed to dry out completely between waterings—water thoroughly once per week until established then reduce watering frequency according to your needs (see below); prune dead flower stalks after blooms fade away naturally so new ones don’t appear later down along stems; prefers temperatures between 55°F – 70°F during winter months but should be kept above 55°F at all times during hotter months after flowering season ends—you may choose not care whether it goes dormant during cold winter months since they tend not survive frost anyway due their tropical origins!

Chinese Evergreen

Chinese Evergreen is a great addition to any home, and it’s one of the best houseplants for beginners. It’s easy to care for, and it thrives even in dim light. While they don’t need direct sunlight, they will do better with some direct light—during the winter or longer days of summer—than in a dark corner. If you choose not to give your plant enough light, its leaves may turn yellow or white; however, this can be reversed by moving your plant into a brighter spot.

If you’re worried about watering too much or too little, try placing pebbles in your pot; that way you can see how much water has been absorbed before you add more! To avoid overwatering: wait until the surface feels dry before watering again (or use soil moisture indicators).

Jade Plant

The jade plant is a great choice for beginners. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, so you don’t have to worry about moving it around when you move into a new home. The jade plant is also easy to care for, and will reward you with beautiful foliage if you provide it with the right conditions.

The only downside is that this plant can grow quite large—it may take up more space than you’re willing or able to give it. If that’s the case, try pruning it regularly: just snip off any leaves that aren’t attached directly to the stem at their base (leaves growing on side branches can stay). This will help keep your plant small enough that its beauty won’t be overshadowed by its size!

English Ivy

English ivy is a popular choice for beginners because it’s easy to care for, can be propagated and will grow in just about any area of your home. English ivy is a fast-growing plant that needs plenty of light, so you’ll need to make sure it gets six to eight hours of sunlight per day. If you’re not sure where your windows get enough light, consider placing the pots near a window with morning or afternoon sun.

The best time to water English ivy is right after watering all of your other houseplants using room temperature water that has been allowed to sit overnight before using it on your plants (this process helps prevent over-watering). If you notice yellow leaves or brown spots on the leaves, this could mean that you need more humidity in your home. You can solve this problem by adding more humidity through things like humidifiers or running showers for about five minutes before adding water for plants at night when humidity levels are lowest and then again immediately after watering them during the day so there’s some moisture left behind when they go back into their rooms after watering time has ended.

This is some plants you can start with.

• Spider plant

If you are a beginner, this is the best houseplant for you to try. It is easy to care for and can grow in many different conditions. The spider plant has long, thin leaves that will hang down from its stem like spiders’ legs. It doesn’t need a lot of water or sunlight either; if you forget to water it once in awhile, it won’t die! You can also trim off dead leaves if they start to look bad. This plant grows up to two feet tall but can be easily trained into smaller sizes by tying it up with some string or wire so that its stems don’t fall over while they grow taller still! As long as there is enough light coming through your windows (or through artificial lighting too), then this houseplant should thrive on its own without needing any special care instructions from us here at our home office headquarters here in South Florida where all good things come from 🙂

2: Snake Plant – Mother-in-law’s Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata) Not only does this exotic looking fern make great decoration accents indoors but it also makes an excellent air purifier when placed near open windows or doors where toxins may enter into your home environment due to pollution outside—especially during these hot summer months when everyone wants their AC units running full blast all day long even though they don’t need them! That being said, having one around helps filter out harmful gases produced by cars passing by outside which could otherwise cause headaches among those who live nearby…and sometimes even more serious health problems later on down the road 🙂 If kept watered regularly then snake plants tend not only survive but thrive well indoors so long as there’s plenty of light falling onto them every day (which isn’t hard since most homes have fluorescent bulbs installed) however unlike other types such as ficus trees/plants where watering needs vary depending upon species type etcetera —

Conclusion
