15 Best Easy Indoor Plants Anyone Can Handle

Olive trees are a beautiful addition inside your home, and they’ve only gotten more and more popular over the past few years. This one really loves sitting in the sun, and doesn’t require frequent waterings. Olive trees help purify indoor air by absorbing toxins, and they can grow stunningly tall over years of good care, too.

This dark and mysterious burgundy rubber tree will offer a beautiful contrast against light-toned furniture. It’s toxic to our furry friends if ingested, so keep this in mind before purchasing.

Soft-color spaces rich with linen, cream-colored decor, and warm-toned furniture have found their home in this pretty-in-pink Anthurium. It adds a feminine touch, and would look stunning propped on a vanity or in a powder room. This one will do well in medium to bright light, but more flowers will bloom in brighter light.

The Calathea plant, often called the “rattlesnake” plant, is a quirky, fun addition to any home looking for a unique houseplant. It’s the perfect addition to an eclectic-style space, alongside bold art and colorful decor. Though this is a medium and low light-tolerant plant, it will thrive best in bright, indirect light.

Let some luck in! According to Feng Shui practices, this beautiful twisty plant will bring abundance, luck, and good health into any home that houses it. They are toxic to pets, though, so it’s not recommended for those with four-legged friends running around the home.

Jade plants are known for living a long time with very little care, so they’re a great option for nearly any household. This elegant succulent shows off small-yet-sturdy leaves and requires nearly no maintenance. When the soil is completely dry, just saturate it again, and it will continue to thrive.

Bring some tropical vibes into your space with this low-maintenance Daracena Janet Craig (aka Madagascar Dragon) plant. The bushy leaves show off a deep, shiny green that looks elegant against the included white planter.

If you love the look of a snake plant, then you’re in luck! These are known for being very easy to take care of, and they come in loads of different varieties. We’re big fans of this one, which is available in three sizes and features upright, yellow-edged leaves.

If you love seeing mostera designs on everything from throw pillows to serving platters, then why not bring home one of your very own? This Swiss Cheese Mostera is the perfect addition to a space in need of some stylish natural charm.

This one is a collector’s favorite! It’ll thrive best in indirect, bright light, and requires minimal maintenance, as it requires far less watering than the average plant. Allow the soil to dry out completely before giving it more to drink (about once a week to once every two weeks). 

The pink flowers of the Pink Calandiva Rose plant will add a chic splash of color to your home, and would look so chic on a console table styled with neutral-toned decor. This stunner looks like it has teensy pink roses, but it’s actually a succulent! These plants are notoriously easy to care for, too, so it’s a perfectly pretty starter plant.

This is a gorgeous little plant that can double as a piece of art in your home. Its standout red and yellow spike will even produce flowers sometimes, if you’re lucky. The ‘Vogue’ is also pet-friendly, so your fur babies will be happy with it, too!

Known for being virtually impossible to kill, the Golden Pothos is a popular pick for shoppers looking for an easy addition to their home. This option needs very little light and water, and it looks just as beautiful displayed on a shelf as it does hanging from the ceiling or wall.

The White Bird of Paradise is native to South Africa, but it will do well in your home if it’s displayed in a bright spot with indirect sunlight. The broad, bright-green leaves add color and life, and it should stay looking great as long as it’s not too parched.
