These Beautiful House Plants Can Also Help Boost Your Mood

Aglaonema

This plant can tolerate low light levels and only needs to be watered every 10 days or so. It’s a great beginner’s plant because it’s quite forgiving if you forget to water. 

Heart Leaf Philodendron

Heart leaf philodendron has delicate, heart-shaped leaves and an attractive vining form. Grow it up a moss pole if you want a vertical accent. 

Snake Plant

It prefers bright to medium indirect light but will tolerate low light levels quite well. Because it’s a succulent, you only need to water every few weeks when the soil feels mostly dry. 

String of Pearls

Pearls never go out of style, and neither does this charming plant that resembles one of your favorite pieces of jewelry.

ZZ Plant

Crocodile Dieffenbachia

This new variety has handsome spotted foliage with a prominent crested mid-rib, reminiscent of a crocodile’s ridges, running down the back of each leaf. 

Golden Pothos

If you’ve never grown a thing, pothos is the perfect starter plant. With heart-shaped leaves and a pretty vining form, this plant is as low-maintenance as it gets. 

Prayer Plant

This colorful plant has bold, striped markings with prominent red veins. Interestingly, the foliage will fold up, like hands in prayer, at night.
