1. Spider Plant
Notes:
- Chances are, you’ve heard of a spider plant before. It’s a popular houseplant with leaves like the legs of a spider that flow over the sides of the pot. They will add some elegance to your living room from their spot on a shelf or hanging by the window.
- They’re pretty easy to take care of, as well.
- Spider plants do their best in bright light when kept indoors, but they are very adaptable. They’ll likely survive in whatever light you give them, as long as there is some sun available.
- Most spider plants die because of overwatering, so let them dry out between waterings.

2. Philodendron
Notes:
- The philodendron is one of the most popular houseplants on the market. Super duper trendy.
- They are also really easy to take care of because they show signs of needing more or less of something, so you can adjust your maintenance habits before they die.
- For example.
- If a bunch of leaves start yellowing at the same time, it’s getting too much light. Droopy leaves mean your watering schedule is off, and you need to adjust it accordingly.
- Once you give your plant buddy what it needs, it’ll bounce right back!
- There are a couple of things you can do with a philodendron. You can trim the leaves to keep it short and small, or you can allow it to climb or trail for a more dramatic look.

3. Pothos
Notes:
- Caring for a pothos plant is so easy that it’s been called one of the most difficult plants to kill. Seriously, whatever you do wrong with this one, the pothos will forgive you.
- It is a trailing plant with shiny leaves and long vines that hang well past its pot. You can even trim the leaves and create more pothos plants for your own little army!
- A pothos doesn’t need to be watered very often — it’s good to let the soil dry out completely before watering again. These plants look especially stunning on a floating shelf where they can trail down a wall, perhaps behind your couch as a living accent wall.

4. Fiddle-Leaf Fig
Notes:
- There has been a lot of hype about the fiddle-leaf fig lately as a decor piece, and it’s hard not to see why. These houseplants feature a skinny trunk hidden beneath large green leaves that are so vibrant they look like they don’t belong.
- If allowed, they can grow into beautiful trees that will be the statement of your living room. However, you really have to pay attention to your fiddle-leaf fig since they can be tricky to keep alive.

5. Peace Lily
Notes:
- Peace lilies aren’t actually related to other lilies, but they are just as beautiful. Their vibrant green leaves and spoon-shaped white flowers add elegance to any living room.
- These delicate beauties prefer to stay in indirect sunlight. They only need to be watered every so often after their soil has a chance to dry out. If your peace lily isn’t flowering, it’s probably not getting enough light. It’s an easy fix that will result in a lovely addition to your space.

6. Monstera
Notes:
- It’s fitting that this next plant has the word “monster” in its name because it can grow to get pretty big. Indoors, a monstera can end up anywhere between 6 and 9 feet tall!
- It’s an absolutely striking plant with large perforated leaves that have been used on all kinds of products because they’re so unique looking. It’s absolutely a statement piece that can fill a large hole in your living room decor. The older your monstera gets, the more perforations it’ll get in its leaves.
- These big beauties thrive in indirect sunlight. The lower the light, the less often it’ll need to be watered. Just let the soil dry between waterings and your monstera will be a happy camper.

7. English Ivy
Notes:
- English ivy is an incredibly versatile plant that doesn’t need much attention to survive. Put it in a hanging planter and let it dangle over the sides. Set it on a shelf to accent a wall. Or, plant it in the same pot as a larger plant to cover the soil.
- Wherever you put your ivy, make sure it gets at least a medium amount of sunlight. And don’t overwater it! English ivies will start getting dry, brown leaves if there is too much water around the roots.

8. Snake Plant
Notes:
- If height is what you’re searching for, look no further than a snake plant. The leaves on a snake plant stand straight up and can get up to four feet tall. They are pointed leaves that look like spikes, which creates a stunning visual for your living room. If they have lots of strong natural light, they will grow faster!
- This is another plant that is easy to care for. Snake plants are extremely hearty and can withstand a lot before giving up. You can place them in pretty much any light, and they only need watering every two weeks or so, depending on their size. Just make sure the soil is thoroughly dried out before you water it again.
