Have you ever fallen in love with a plant at the garden center, only to realize when you get home that it is a real diva? You shouldn't let this discourage you, because luckily there are also some plants that are real eye-catchers without any drama. You can find five of them in this article:
1. Ivy plant
Ivy plants are the perfect plants for anyone who wants to achieve a big impact with little effort. They come in a variety of patterns from deep green to almost completely white. They are also cheap to buy and you can easily grow offshoots. So it's no wonder that they are one of the most popular houseplants!
Since ivy plants are climbing plants, you can showcase them in different ways. Tied up on a plant stick, you will quickly have a lush potted plant for any location that is at least partially shaded. You can also simply let the leaves hang from a shelf or attach the tendrils to the wall with plant clips. Since it grows quickly, you don't have to wait long for a beautifully green wall. As a tropical plant, it also feels very comfortable in the bathroom.
By the way, the ivy plant forgives you if you forget it for a few days - it also does well with little water.
2. Rubber tree
The rubber tree has made a real comeback in recent years - from grandma's living room straight into the aesthetic jungle. And rightly so! Rubber trees are now everywhere in lush green or white-green. Its shiny and sturdy leaves make it stand out among other plants.
It is content with a partially shaded spot and when it comes to watering, less is more. You should avoid waterlogging.
3. Monstera
Yes, you read that right! These absolute trend plants are not as demanding as you might think. They originally come from the tropics and are therefore adapted to different lighting conditions. Basically, however, they should be in a bright location and not in a dark corner of the room. The Monstera is also easy to care for when it comes to watering, as it would rather be watered less than too much. So if you thought Monsteras were only for professionals and have therefore only admired them on social media: here's your sign that they also fit into your apartment!
4. Pancake plant
Unfortunately, the pancake plant doesn't serve you breakfast - it owes its name to its eye-catching circular leaves! It is sometimes also referred to as lucky thaler or Chinese money plant. It prefers not to be in direct sunlight and only needs to be watered about once a week. She thanks you for this with small offshoots that sprout in the pot without any action on your part. You can simply pull the cuttings out of the ground and replant them straight away or give them as gifts to your friends!
5. Peace Lily
The peace lily impresses with its elegant white flowers. Are you watering too much or too little? This doesn't really matter to the peace lily as long as it doesn't become waterlogged. It blooms particularly beautifully in a bright location, but it is undemanding and also thrives in darker locations.
