Plants you can't kill easily

This spring, when plants begin to bloom and the weather warms up, people are inspired to get outdoors and to bring the outdoors in. Horticulture student Cody Horn provides students with a list of the top ten indoor plants that are high quality and low maintenance.

Peace Lily

A classic staple of any apartment or home, the Peace Lily can be found at practically any store that sells plants and is relatively inexpensive and low maintenance. It adds personality to space and is a small investment, running between $10-25 for a medium-sized pot. This plant loves to cozy up to a window indoors and does well in moist but well-drained soil.

Croton

A popular plant in the late spring and summer months, this decorative green can be found at any local Home Depot or Lowe’s location for around $8-15. It thrives in moist but well-drained soil and loves to bask in the sunlight. Blooming Colors has many of these for sale.

Fiddle-Leaf Fig

Tall and skinny with a gathering of foliage at the top, this spunky plant is featured at both Ace and Blooming Colors and makes a great addition to any space. This plant needs only to be watered two to three times per week and loves well-lit areas without too much direct sunlight. One runs between $15-30, depending on the size.

Norfolk Pine

The pine, like the fiddle-leaf fig, thirsts for water two to three times a week, depending on the amount of sunlight it receives. Ace Hardware and Blooming Colors boast these neat plants, and they are between $8-15 each.

Snake Plant

Ranging between $10-15 each, the snake plant can be found at Home Depot or Lowe’s. This is a great plant in place of a pet, but if you have pets, be cautious because the foliage can be poisonous upon ingestion, causing your furry friend to get sick easily.

Pothos/Devil’s Ivy

An ivy that needs only one watering per week can be found at Home Depot or Lowe’s. It costs between $5-10, and desires several hours of indirect sunlight each day. Minimal upkeep with a maximal aesthetic.

English Ivy

Primarily found at Blooming Colors at the intersection of South Donahue and College Street this species of ivy takes the same amount of water and sunlight as does the Devil’s Ivy, and is incredibly simple to care for.

Chinese Money Plant

For those who are looking for something a little more rare, the Chinese Money Plant is an interesting-looking addition to any space. Horn said they are his personal favorite plant, and though they cannot be found in Auburn as they are more of a rarity, they boast being one of the easiest plants to grow and care for as well as one of the most intruguing to look at.
