It’s not too late to start cultivating your green thumb

Having a plant at home sure gives a liveliness we all need right now!

Monstera
This stylish plant species is probably the most photographed plant on social media, and for good reason! This tropical plant is one statement-maker which requires lots of space as it can grow huge depending on variety.

Rubber Plant
Looking after this cute plant will reward you with a tree-like plant baby in no time. And since it’s a low-maintenance one, it will reach its peak height in no time even with little care. If you want to control its growth, though, pick a smaller planter instead of a huge one.

Golden Pothos
This pretty plant is another species that requires little to no effort. Its heart-shaped leaves come in white, yellow, or pale green, which nicely decorates a desk surface or can be hanged. Just like other indoor, low-maintenance plants, the golden pothos lives with minimum care—just a sprinkling of water every now and then and placing it somewhere with low light will do.

Snake plant
One of the easiest plants to grow, it’s no wonder the snake plant is an obvious choice for new plant enthusiasts. Its adaptability in various conditions makes it a convenient choice, with several varieties that suits any space. It can thrive even in low light—however, it grows fast when placed in a bright spot at home.
