15 House Plants The Are Hard AF To Kill That You Need Right Now
Let’s be honest – no house is complete without a plant. They brighten our mood and make an incredible addition to any interior. However, not all of us are good at caring for house plants. Don’t worry, taking care of a plant doesn’t have to be difficult! Some plants don’t even need that much attention and can survive on their own for weeks. Check out our list of 15 house plants that are hard AF to kill.
Aloe Vera
The soothing gel that comes from this plant is really good for cuts and burns. You don’t have to water an Aloe too often because you need the soil to fully dry in-between waterings. This means that you can leave it unattended for days!
Lamb’s Ear
Sometimes also called rabbit’s ear, this plant has very cute soft leaves that are pleasant to the touch. It grows quite fast but doesn’t need much water because its leaves prevent fast water loss.
3.Spider Plant
This plant is very easy to grow and doesn’t need much care. It quickly produces lots of offspring that can be repotted, which pretty much means that this plant never dies.
