10 Low Maintenance House Plants

House plants are such a beneficial means of adding natural beauty to any room’s décor. There are certain plants that are also easy to maintain and that adds to their appeal.  So here is a list of ten house plants that fit that description.  Each offers its own qualities of beauty, if you are wanting to add some extra color or floral element to a part of your house.
  1. Angel Ivy Ring Topiary. Also known as wire vine, this plant will festoon with a topiary ring that can measure up to twelve inches tall and eight inches in diameter.  It requires a soil that is moist, but not to the point of being soggy.  Using a mister is recommended for watering.  This green plant does best in temperatures between sixty-five and eighty degrees.
  2. Braided Ficus Tree. This plant is one of the most popular foliage plants used.  It is  very adaptable to many indoor climates and that has been part of what makes them so desirable.  The Braided Ficus Tree has leathery dark green leaves that cover its branches.  For best results it is important to provide a consistent moisture level to keep the leaf loss to a minimum.  It thrives and grows most successful when placed in bright indirect light.
  3. Cactus Combo Bonsai. Many have found the cactus combination very appealing and satisfying as a house plant.  It creates unusual forms with light gray, dark gray and dark green colors. The benefit of temperature and moisture adaptability has made these plants very desirable house plant options for many homeowners.
  4. Chamaedorea Palm. This bright to medium green plant does best in any room that offers bright indirect light. It has arching, graceful looking branches that will definitely add to the mood or ambience of any room.  Properly located they often add a certain elegant aspect to any room.  When fully grown, they can vary in height from two feet to six feet.
  5. Chinese Evergreen. For anyone just starting out with house plants, this is a wonderful first choice.  This is an excellent plant for beginners because it can survive on low light. As long as you watch the soil’s moisture level, it will thrive under very little illumination.
  6. Miniature Herb Standard Topiaries. With its trio of tiny topiaries, this plant has the ability to increase the appeal of any sunny place.  Each of its topiaries is formed into the usual tree or standard shape.  It has a fragrance that can be very like lavender and its dark green or white versions have colors that fit into many different surroundings.
  7. Moth Orchids. This is a very beautiful plant with petals that have streaks of fuchsia or white. It will definitely light up any room where it is added.  The Moth Orchid will bloom for as long as two to three months, twice a year. It is considered one of the best air purifying plants you can add to your home.
  8. Ponytail Palm. The green whirl of the foliage from the Ponytail Palm rises from its stem.  It produces leaves that are leathery and like ribbons in shape.  This plant will do well in bright light and even direct sunlight.  In terms of low maintenance it would be harder to find any option that requires less care.  Even watering is easy since it has been known to go as much as a year with watering.
  9. Tropical Combo Bonsai. In its pre-designed shape, this is a great way to combine a tropical plant with a rock garden.  It will give a hint of the tropics to any home.  Placing it in a ceramic bonsai container can give it a very classy appearance.
  10. Amaryllis “Yellow Goddess.” This has a breathtaking yellow color with seven inch blooms.  Its color and beauty makes it very desirable as a house plant, which is part of the reason why it has the name “Yellow Goddess.”  The bulbs should bloom in approximately six to eight weeks after being planted.

With all the options available for house plants that require little upkeep, it makes it very easy for anyone to add them to the house.  Most plants are available with their own care instructions that, when followed, will keep your plant healthy and strong for many years.
