There’s nothing better than a beautiful outdoor scene with a variety of flowers, bushes, and trees that capture the magnificence of nature. Many people try to replicate this warm feeling inspired by Mother Nature in their homes.
We all know some people have green thumbs, but many of us do not, which means we inadvertently endanger indoor plants when we try to grow or maintain them.However, you won’t be discouraged: there are indoor plants that are almost impossible to kill and harder to keep alive.
Cactus
Cactus is the first plant that comes to mind as a resilient indoor plant. Cacti come in a wide range of kinds that can be used at home and do not require much maintenance.Most only need to be watered every week or two! The plants should be placed where they will receive most of the day’s sunlight. This is low maintenance at its best!The flowers sprout in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes.
Areca Palm
Feel like your home needs more of a tropical feel but worry that indoor tropical plants need constant care due to constant irrigation and climate control? We have the perfect plant for you: the Areca Palm.
The size of this pot-based plant ranges from a tabletop plant to a towering 6- to 7-foot tall tree-like addition to your room. The areca palm, no matter what size you choose, gives the Caribbean vacation vibe with its lush, long, thin green leaves.
As it prefers dry soil, this low maintenance plant only requires watering every other week. Even in indirect sunlight, it thrives. It doesn’t get any easier than that!
Snake Plant
Snake plants (also known as mother-in-law’s tongues!) are fun jungle like plants with leaves that grow from the pot. The upright leaves have yellow and white edges, and it blooms a white flower from time to time, giving it a unique appearance.
A tiger-like pattern is also seen on the leaves of this indoor plant, which creates an interesting contrast with solid colors within a room. Among its many uses, Snake Plants have been found to be useful as room dividers and privacy niches throughout the house.
Tillandsia
Another plant that fits within a tropical theme is the tillandsia. With this unusual plant, you have unlimited display options since it doesn’t require soil.
Water-soluble glue can be used to glue the tillandsia to almost anything. Then hang them on a wall, mount them on a rock, or place them anywhere you like around the house.
Conch shells would be the perfect option for displaying this plant if you have a beach-themed home. There is a wide range of colors available, and the tillandsia has magnificent blooms that last for weeks.

Its bright green leaves with a whitish, almost yellow outline make the ficus the ideal indoor tree to liven up a traditional home setting. Braiding the stems is a very common practice, which gives a room a fun new look.
You can even add Christmas lights to the ficus for a warm glow at night. This low-maintenance plant can survive several days without watering and thrives at room temperature.
