26 plants
Ponytail palm
Beaucarnea recurvata
Drought-tolerant ornamental with a swollen trunk that stores water. Give it bright light and a gritty, well-draining mix. Water sparingly after the soil dries substantially and protect it from prolonged waterlogging.
Rubber plant
Ficus elastica
Bright indirect light; wipe leaves; water when top third of soil is dry.
Snake plant
Sansevieria trifasciata
Tough indoor plant; bright to low light; sparse water — overwatering kills.
Spider plant
Chlorophytum comosum
Bright indirect light; water regularly; plantlets root easily in water.
Wax plant
Hoya carnosa
Waxy-leaved trailing plant that prefers bright indirect light and a loose, well-draining mix. Let the medium dry partly between waterings. Good light encourages flowering, while excess water can cause root damage.
ZZ plant
Zamioculcas zamiifolia
Low light survivor; water rarely; rhizomes store moisture — do not overwater.
