Living in a cozy apartment or a compact home doesn't mean you have to miss out on the joys of indoor gardening. At Plantsome, we believe that everyone deserves a bit of greenery, no matter the size of their living space. Here’s a roundup of the best indoor plants that thrive in small spaces and bring a touch of nature into your home.
ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
The ZZ Plant is a superstar when it comes to low-maintenance houseplants. With its glossy, dark green leaves, it adds a touch of elegance to any room. The ZZ Plant is incredibly resilient and can tolerate low light conditions, making it perfect for apartments with limited natural light. Plus, it doesn't mind being a bit neglected, so it's ideal for busy plant parents.
Snake Plant
Also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, the Snake Plant is a hardy plant that’s almost impossible to kill. Its striking, upright leaves make a bold statement. The Snake Plant thrives in low to bright indirect light and needs watering only once every few weeks, making it a perfect fit for small, busy households.
Pothos
Pothos, also known as Devil’s Ivy, is a versatile and easy-to-care-for plant. Its trailing vines and heart-shaped leaves can brighten up any small space. Pothos does well in various light conditions, from low light to bright, indirect light. You can let it trail from a shelf or hang it in a planter to save floor space.
Spider Plant
The Spider Plant is a classic choice for small spaces. Known for its arching leaves and tiny plantlets, it adds a fun, whimsical look to any room. Spider Plants thrive in bright, indirect light but are also tolerant of lower light levels. They are non-toxic to pets and children, making them a safe and attractive option for any home.
Peperomia
Peperomias are compact plants with a variety of leaf shapes and colours, perfect for adding a splash of personality to small spaces. These low-maintenance plants prefer medium to bright indirect light and need only occasional watering. With their petite size and slow growth, Peperomias are ideal for desktops, shelves, and small corners.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is not only an attractive succulent but also relatively easy to care for. This plant loves bright, indirect light and minimal watering, making it an excellent choice for sunny spots in small spaces. Its rosette of thick, fleshy leaves can fit snugly on a windowsill or a small table.
Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides)
The Chinese Money Plant, with its unique round leaves, is a trendy and eye-catching addition to any small space. This plant prefers bright, indirect light and needs watering when the top inch of soil is dry. Its compact size and charming appearance make it a favorite among plant enthusiasts.
