Best Plants for Apartment Living

Want to add a little life to your apartment? Houseplants are the perfect way to bring warmth, color, and better air quality to your space—plus, they’re great for mental health. Here's a list of the best apartment plants to help your space thrive without the stress.

Snake Plant (Sansevieria)

Talk about the ultimate no-fuss plant. Great for beginners, snake plants tolerate low light and infrequent watering - seriously perfect for apartment dwellers with a busy lifestyle.

Pothos

Pothos is a leafy vine that’s as beautiful as it is easy to maintain. These indoor plants for apartments can handle low light and grow quickly, making them ideal for hanging planters or bookshelves.

ZZ Plant

If your apartment gets limited sunlight, the ZZ plant is your go-to. It’s resilient, drought-tolerant, and adds a modern touch with its shiny dark green leaves.

Spider Plant

These easy-care plants are great for apartment decorating and are even known to remove toxins from the air. Spider plants are especially great for hanging or on shelves where their tendrils can cascade.

Bonus Tips:
- Choose pots with drainage.
- Use a moisture meter or the finger test to avoid overwatering.
- Rotate your plants every few weeks so they grow evenly.
