I love the way indoor plants clean the air and create a healthy living space. My guests notice that I have green plants everywhere so they think I have a green thumb. But, if they looked closer, they’d notice that that sea of green is really the same 2 plants! Yup, I couldn’t keep any of those exotic and beautiful plants alive and quite frankly, I got tired of spending 100s of dollars on plants that just died a few months later. So I took clippings from the only 2 plants that could survive under my black thumb and put them in water. A few weeks later, I took those clippings and put them in potting soil and voila – the plants thrived. I’ve never repotted them and never given them fertilizer. I’m serious, all they need is water and indirect sunlight.
So what are these plants?
POTHOS
Good news is that you can buy one plant at a garden center and then take cuttings and fill your house with the new plants forever – literally. I have them in pots all over the house because they can survive in low light offices and bedrooms as well as well-lit kitchens.
SPIDER PLANTS
I love my spider plants because they love bathrooms and low-light areas. They shoot out little plants (spiders) that you can clip, put in water for a few weeks, and start a new plant.
For very little money, you can make your home or office a healthier place to live and work. These plants are very low maintenance – all they need is weekly watering and sunlight.
Happy planting!
