đȘŽ 3. ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
Want something stylish and chill? Go for the ZZ plant. It has glossy, dark green leaves and needs very little water â like, once a month. It also handles low light like a champ. Basically, it thrives on neglect.
đ” 4. Aloe Vera
A plant thatâs also a skincare helper? Yes, please! Aloe vera loves bright light and doesnât need frequent watering. Just place it by a sunny window and let the soil dry completely before you water again. Bonus: itâs great for soothing cuts or sunburns.
đ 5. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
Want a flowering plant thatâs still easy to care for? The peace lily is your pick. Itâs low-maintenance but will let you know when itâs thirsty (the leaves droop a bit â very dramatic). Water it, and it perks right up!
