Plants are a great way to add dimension and color to a space. They freshen up the room and offer health benefits as well! Many plants feature air-cleaning qualities and studies have shown they have calming effects on the body. The interior design experts at Laurel & Wolf have put together a list of the most beautiful low-maintenance plants that you can bring into your own space!

Fiddle leaf fig tree

This is definitely Laurel & Wolf’s favorite indoor plant. We have one in our office and we always suggest them to anyone looking for some greenery. It is also very low maintenance and only requires watering once it has completely dried.

Succulents

Succulents have gained popularity in the last decade, and their easy maintenance makes them attractive. They actually prefer dry soil and room temperature, so keeping them alive is pretty easy. They look beautiful in both clusters or singles.

Aloe

Aloe not only looks beautiful, but it possesses health and healing benefits too. These plants range in size, so you’ll definitely find one appropriate for your space.

Rubber Tree

Rubber trees are great if you have tall ceilings because they can grow 8+ feet tall! If you need a smaller plant, simply trim the leaves. Rubber trees have shiny emerald leaves that reflect light beautifully.

Asparagus fern

A light and whimsical plant, asparagus ferns are happy in hanging baskets. Just be careful nobody (including pets) eat the poisonous berries that occasionally grow!

Areca Palm

This palm instantly makes any space feel more tropical. If you’re looking to warm up a cold or bare looking room, this is the plant for the job! Here’s to living green!
