Potted Plants for Interior Décor
With Christmas right around the corner, consider getting your family members, friends, or even yourself a nice house plant. As summer finally exits out the rearview mirror, we inch closer and closer to winter. And with winter comes dull, grey days with no life outside. Naked trees surrounded by their dead and brown former leaves. Those lucky enough to live around plants and trees that remain green year round often find those same plants covered by snow. It can be difficult to get any sort of natural injection into your life at this time of the year, so why not let a house plant do the trick?What are the best low maintenance plants?
There are plenty of low maintenance plants, but here are 5 of the best.Snake Plant

The Snake Plant is a great plant to start an indoor garden.
Snake Plants are one of the more popular houseplants. They are very versatile, being able to survive in low, medium and high light areas. They also are able to thrive in different humidities so the placement of this plant is purely up to you. Soltech Solutions has a great guide on the snake plant if you would like to learn more about it.Succulents
Succulents are one of the easiest plants to maintain in your home.
Succulents have risen in popularity in recent years. These plants tend to be on the smaller side, so they are often given as gifts as they don’t require massive amounts of space. They do need about 6 hours of sunlight a day, but make sure that you rotate your succulent so one side doesn’t get burned. Watering succulents is also simple. Just water until the soil looks damp, and then wait to water again until the soil is dry. The main two reasons these plants die is too little light and too much water. Being diligent with both of these will allow your succulents to live a long lifespan.Spider Plant
Spider Plants are very popular and for good reason, they’re easy to take care of and give any room a bit of a “jungle” feel.
Spider Plants are another common plant. You may see them in schools or businesses as they take up a lot of space without taking up a lot of space. What I mean by that is that the plant itself is on the smaller side so a huge pot isn’t needed, but the way the plant grows causes it to look very dense. This high amount of foliage adds fresh greenery to any room that it’s placed in. Due to how this plant grows, it also does well from hung pots. As seen in the picture above, their leaves tend to grow downwards, only furthering the idea that it takes up more space than it actually does. As for watering this plant, about once a week will do. The spider plant can hold water in its roots as backup incase of infrequent watering. Check out this blog from Soltech Solutions to learn more about spider plants.African Spear Plant
African Spear Pants are a funky variation on snake plants that could provide a good compliment to a vast array of plants.
You may think that the African Spear Plant looks similar to the Snake plant, and you’d be right! The African Spear plant is otherwise known as the cylindrical snake plant. Its unique pointed tips and cylindrical shape gives it its name of “spear”. These are low maintenance plants that will survive a wide range of conditions. You’re actually more likely to harm it by giving it too much water than too little water. The spear plant is a type of succulent so they don’t need much pruning as well.Pothos
Pothos give off an ivy style look without needing much maintenance, making them great indoors.
A tropical plant, it is best to keep this plant indoors especially during the colder months. They thrive in low light and can survive neglect. Another durable candidate for your indoor garden, their hanging style means you can house them in pots that are higher up to allow their cascading to be on full show.
