Do you like to visit your local nursery and look at all the gorgeous pots?
Just because youre away from home doesnt mean you cant grow plants.
It just means you have to choose the right ones.
Here are the best low-maintenance plants to consider growing if youre never home.
I love this because they often produce flowers as a reward.
They also have many different shades of greens, reddish-orange, and shapes to choose from.
Snake Plants
Do you tend to go on trips for a few weeks at a time?
Does your home lack abundant natural light?
Then consider asnake plant.
Snake plants are prized for their easy-going nature and ability to withstand low-light conditions, says Lalicata.
ZZ Plant
Sixx thinks the ZZ plant, aka the Zanzibar gem, is wella gem.
The plant grows from rhizomes, which allows them to store water, which naturally makes them drought-resistant.
Think of it as a spare water source.
Philodendrons and Pothos Plants
Do you go away on a short jaunt every now and then?
Or do you plan to spend weekends away this summer?
Sixx tells me philodendron or pothos plants will suit your lifestyle.
These everyday easy plants both need bright, indirect light and just one to two weeks in between watering.
Monstera Plants
Monstera plantshave been popular for quite a while now.
With their gorgeous green leaves, its easy to understand why.
Theyre also an ideal choice for anyone who likes to occasionally go away for a week, explains Sixx.
