Peperomia plants are one of the first on the list for easiest plants to take care of. They can sometimes be called radiator plants, and are most commonly found in South and Central America. Most Peperomia plants don’t grow more than a foot high. Peperomia’s main features are its large, rounded, waxy leaves that are sturdy and super-smooth. All that’s needed to take care of them is:

  • Water: Roughly 1× per week

  • Soil: Chunky, loamy, and well-draining

  • Lighting: Indirect bright light





Aloe Vera, I would say is one of the easiest and most beautiful plants to own and take care of. Their sap (what's inside of them) can cure cuts and sunburns, and when mixed with tea or put in a smoothie can be very good for the body. This plant is easy to take care of because as it grows you don’t need to worry about changing the Aloe into a bigger pot, which I know can be a pain with other plants. The biggest thing to remember is that if you are going to use one of the leaves, don't take off more than a third of the leaf at a time. Here are the care requirements:


  • Water: Roughly 2-3x per week(spring)

  • Water: Roughly 3-4x per week(summer)

  • Water: Roughly 4-5x per week(fall winter)

  • Requires direct sunlight





Pothos is also another very easy plant to take care of, almost every plant that you should first start off with should be this one. This plant can survive in different temperatures, and does not require much care. The plant itself will continue to grow like vines. And as long as you give its leaves some support it will continue to grow to about 10 feet! Here are the care required:


  • Water: Roughly 2x per week

  • Plant will naturally dry out just make sure to eventually water it again

  • Grows and all forms of sunlight





Spider Plant’s are the never ending givers. Their leaves as they continue to grow constantly have little baby sprouts growing off of them, so at any time you are able to take off the little baby sprout and repot it to start a whole new plant growing. These plants are manageable and will make a home feel more full, with how much they grow. I find these plants look and grow best when hanged. Here are the care requirements:


  • Water: Roughly 1-2x per week

  • This plants like to dry out just water in between when it dries

  • Grows in all forms of sunlight




String of Pearls plant, is a succulent plant that grows uniquely in little pearl shaped forms. Instead of the normal leaf shape, the plant grows almost like a bead necklace, making it very fun and pretty. As long as the plant is given enough light and is hung up nicely your plant should live for about five years. Here are the care requirements:



  • Direct sunlight is needed

  • Water: Round once every 7-14 days

  • Light
