Are you one of those people who cannot or find it difficult to keep a plant alive? There are also quite a few houseplants waiting for you. Houseplants are important, probably more important than you think. Not only for decoration and atmosphere in the home. But mainly because they help to purify the air in your room to a large extent.

Plants that require less attention:

- Scindapsus: This plant has a great ability to purify the air. Because the plant can hang/climb, the plant is very happy in a hanging pot or on a climbing frame. The plant can grow long shoots, but you can easily cut them back if they become too long. If you do this occasionally, you will continue to keep the plant beautiful and healthy. The Scindapsus prefers to be in partial shade.

- Spider plant: The most popular houseplant. This plant has thin, wispy leaves. They do very well in a hanging pot. They only need a little water once a week and preferably not in full sun. Moreover, they certainly do not require much attention. Be careful, they are poisonous to cats.

- Hedera: The Hedera always looks so elegant with its tendrils. For example, place the plant in a macramé plant holder and let it hang down, creating a beautiful effect. Give the plant a little water once a week.

- Crassula: This is a succulent plant and looks beautiful with its thick tubular leaves. It grows slowly and can grow old. The plant only needs a little attention. The plant likes dry soil, so do not give it too much water. She likes light and a warm place. It is a grateful plant.

- Peace Lily: This is probably a very well-known plant, it can be found in many households. In my opinion, very justified, with its beautiful white calyxes and dark green leaves. This plant is very easy to maintain! Prefers little water and likes to be in partial shade.

- Snake plant: You probably remember these from your grandparents' living room, because these plants have been a popular houseplant for so long. The popularity of this plant is due to its super easy maintenance. Water when you remember, obviously not every 3 months.

- Peperomia: There are many varieties of this houseplant. The Peperomia species prefers not to be placed too warm or in too much light. Don't water them too much, let the soil dry out a little. Then you can enjoy it for a very long time.

- Areca palm: Do you dream a lot about distant tropical vacations? Then this is your plant! Bring the tropics into your home with this palm, they are strong too. The leaves of the palm have an air purifying effect.

- Zamioculcas: Is a sturdy, sturdy and very strong houseplant! It has wide, outgoing branches with ellipsoidal leathery dark green glossy leaves. Make sure he has enough space. He doesn't mind if you forget to water him occasionally. It can withstand dryness better than feet that are too wet.

- Rhipsalis: Is one of the most popular hanging plants. This plant has thin strings with a high ornamental value. Rhipsalis can survive for a week without water. The plant can last a very long time and grow quite large. However, you can easily keep the plant in shape by pruning, the plant will not be affected by this at all.
