In addition to adding a little visual interest and cleaning the air, adding houseplants to your apartment will make your place feel more like home. However, it isn’t always easy to discern which plants would thrive in your space. Here are three houseplants to consider for apartments. 

The Best Plants for Apartments

1. Snake plant

Commonly known as the snake plant, Sansevieria trifasciata features long, dark leaves that only grow about six inches high. As an incredibly adaptive plant, snake plants will do well in either the sunny or shady areas of your home and only needs to be watered as little as once a month during the winter. 

2. ZZ Plants 

With long, medium-green, double-sided leaves and a shiny finish, it’s no wonder why the ZZ plant is a favorite of novice interior gardeners and professional landscapers alike. Known to be very difficult to kill, the ZZ plant tolerates a variety of lighting and watering conditions, which means you can keep it on your coffee table or nightstand for as long as you like. 

3. Succulents

If you have trouble remembering to water plants, choosing members of the cactus family can make a lot of sense. Succulents are available in an incredible range of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, making it simple to pair multiple varieties together to create beautiful planters. Succulents work well when placed in high-light environments, such as window ledges or bright bathrooms, but some varieties are more low-light tolerant, making it possible to put them in darker parts of your home.
