If you want to make your home feel pleasant and peaceful, a few houseplants from your local garden store will make a major difference to the atmosphere. Not everyone is talented at gardening, but thankfully, there are several beautiful and resilient indoor plants that need minimal attention.

House Plants to Get From the Garden Store

1. ZZ Plant

The zamioculcas zamiifolia, or ZZ plant, thrives in low light and shouldn't be put in the sun. It also doesn’t need frequent watering, and you should only water it when the soil’s surface feels dry. Despite its modest needs, the plant can grow up to three feet tall.

2. Money Tree

While it may not grow money, this tree is popular because of its interesting braided trunk and easy care. Like the ZZ plant, it should only be watered when the soil dries out. It prefers humid conditions, so you might want to consider keeping it in the bathroom.

3. Pothos

4. Spider Plant

Not only will spider plants thrive indoors, but they'll sprout baby plants, also known as spiderettes. The spiderettes can easily be cultivated into new plants, allowing you to have multiple in the home or give one away to a friend. Keep this plant in the brightest part of your home, and water them well for the best growth.
