10 EASIEST Unusual Indoor Plants 🌱 Easy Houseplants Even YOU Can't Kill
I've had lots of questions recently about how to simplify plant care, and STEP ONE is choosing the right plants! I've got over 300 houseplants in my collection, and one of the main ways I stay on top of them (without it becoming overwhelming) is balancing my finicky tropical plants with hardier ones that require very little care. I've put together a list of my top 10 favourite and unusual easy house plants - I hope you find it useful!

I’ve been watching you for quite a long time, I came across this channel by accident, but fell in love with what you do instantly. Thank you for your work, for the experience and knowledge that you share with us! I adore you ❤
I got 2 small birds of paradise about a year ago and potted them next to a small built pond in South Texas USA (our summers reach 115°F -46°C-). At first, they kind of burned a bit but grew and multiplied .... they are as tall as the house now. Covered them in winter and just trimmed all the cold damaged and they are sooooo big now!!
I find your videos so calming. Even when they aren’t on plants I’m particularly interested in, I love watching them. And I needed this today so thank you 💚
Your camera quality is absolutely stunning. You have the clearest videos out of every video I watch. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are doing great!!!!!❤❤❤
I'm an Aglaonema and Pothos kinda gal; I just love them. They are hard to kill and not prone to pests and Pothos, in particular, just love to grow.
I agree about the Sanseveria Moonshine - so stunning!!! ❤
Am so torn on this one... some are stunning, some are meh... hoping to come across one eventually that tugs my plantstrings ;-)
I only grow snake plants and love it when someone says they can offer so much more than 'forget them in a dark corner, and they'll be fine'. There are so many types of snake plants, and with the right light and care, they are awesome. Love your videos, and I watched them even when you speak about plants I will never grow :)
Recently discovered your channel and i just cannot stop watching! I really love how relaxing, helpful, and wholesome your videos are.
I love ALL of your videos but... this has to be one of my favorites. I'm 100% in love with your sweatshirt and I love how you're putting info in the corner. Your videos get better and better and I enjoy watching them more and more. Much love from Wisconsin!❤
I have been watching your videos forever now & am so so addicted to them! Lol I love all your beautiful plants, your beautiful home and of course - Ross & Yoli! :) Your accent and voice are so soothing & calming! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge, I have learned so much from you & my plants are thriving now😊
That’s my dream living room 😂 well done! Hi from Brighton and Hove 🙌🏼
One of my cats has a tendency to chew on plants to get my attention because she knows I don't want her to do it 😅 She doesn't care if it's toxic or not. As long as she gets fed 😂
Mine started doing that, I gave him attention the moment he gets away from the plant and it all stopped. However, I did sacrifice a few leaves to get the habit out of him.
I have one cat that does this too. The other doesn't care about leaves.
Yes, do a part 2. I am enjoying adding to my plant jungle, but I like to avoid those hard to grow plants. They can turn out to be money down the drain. I am getting the feeling it is very possible to have a nice variety without overdoing the more fuzzy plants. Another video I would like is one on growing plants in semi-hydroponics. Which plants are well suited to this, the care, etc. What to watch out for. In other words, what would a beginner need to know. Thanks.
Thanks for the info on the white bird. Love this plant. I live in Southern US and trying one for the second time. Enjoy you, your puppy, your man, and your videos. Keep up the excellent, joyful vids😊😊❤❤
Thanks for sharing it was a delight watching your video it was so nice seeing my hobby being explained with such depth you can see the joy it gives you describing each plant thanks for tips looking forward to your future videos 🤗👏👏👏👏💐♥️😊
First!! Yay Hi Claaaaiiirreee I just got a bunch of jungle cacti and thought of you :) love hanging out with you on the Tube!
I love giant plants, i need more of them in my life. Time to get myself a bird of paradise i guess
Hi Claire I adore you, your channel and all the lovely info. I’m brand new to plants at 42 years old 😅 I would love to see the names of plants listed in the description 🙏 Also, what’s your skincare or make routine? Please share how you have such flawless, dewy skin! ❤
Would you make a video about how to cultivate your plants in semi-hydro (when to water, when to feed, how to pass from soil to semi-hydro….) Would love to see that, it would really help!
Thank you for sharing your plants :-) I have watched your channel for more than 2 years I attribute my success with houseplants to all the knowledge I get from you. Thank you again and happy 2024 growing season 🙂I
Did I see Groot 👀?? I have Groot figures amongst my plants he just blends in and is my absolute favorite💚💚🪴😊
22:26 In Sweden we call the zzplant a wardrobe plant, and that resonate so well with the lighting requirement this plant has. So you can really grow this in almost no light at all😊❤
I really love the ZZ plants. So beautiful when it is a full plant. You can get away with little watering for months and it still survives. I recently planted mine in a new pretty ceramic pot. I love the many varieties such as the Raven and Akebono. Love the Cast Iron plant. This plant was popular during Victorian times. So hardy, so beautiful. Really enjoyed this video!!! 🥰
You can put the euphorbia on the balcony with the aloe they can keep each other company!
❤I love you’re videos! They really are so relaxing and relatable
So excited for a new video!! Something to replant my escaleto to!!! Love the videos claaaaire
Love your videos and would love to see a part 2. These were great recommendations, not the common ones everyone usually give.
Ohhh we need part 2 for sure! 💚
Thank you!!❤ so informative! I would love a part 2
Strelitzia nicolai grows everywhere here in SA by me!! They are all flowering at the moment😁
I love your videos and came to say your space looks amazing!💚
I love that sweater
The McDowell is really easy, the only downside, for me, is that it's crawling and takes up a lot of space. Mine is currently producing 2 flowers and they are so pretty with their beautiful red colors! The regal shield is an amazing plant! Mine just pushed out a 45cm long leaf and it's so incredibly chill to care for. I have mine in my South facing window and it loves it. My jose buono has such interesting patterns on the leaves, it's fascinating. Some leaves are very bright with tiny dark green splotches all over them, others have huge patches of light green. I highly recommend this plant because it can look so interesting and it's so easy to care for!
Hi Claire please share your experience how you manage your plenty plants when you have to go for holidays for example for segera days ❤
Thank you for this video ❤
Thanks so much for your video. 😊
Part 2? Yes, please! ❤
Love all the suggestions! It was so nice of the filming guy to give you a pup from his alocasia, what a lovely thing to think of doing. I so want a cast iron plant, they look like big versions of peace lillies to me, which are one of my fave plants (unpopular, I know!)
New to your channel. Excited on learning all I can. Blessings 🙂
Gahhh i am so jealous of your house! Life goals 🥺
Got here early! Love your planty content! :)
Part two please.❤️
Put that zz under a grow light. Within a month, you'll have stalks all over. Mine has 5 sprouting
I bought a zz plant around a month ago to add to my ever growing collection. Went to change the soil with my own special mix and pleasantly surprised, I made three separate plants from it. So happy and yes the gro lights work a treat on them. 😊
I stumbled upon your channel. Subscribed!
Nice and informative video!! 🙋🏼♀️🪴
I have a quite a few plants of different types and sizes but nothing like your collection - love it. I don't know how you remember all their names or cultivation needs as i don't see any labels!!! Sufficient light, humidity and central heating are my major problems and I just don't know how to overcome these problems. Winter inside (instead of conservatory) was devastating and so upsetting . 😢
Yes, part 2 pls..
part 2 - yes please
As always, a very enjoyable watch. Have been using pon now for about 8 months. Plants loved it to start with especially alocasia but in the last few weeks have lost a few bery quickly to root rot- can't figure out why. Thanks for passing on a your knowledge.
Brilliant channel -have become addicted ! Am in process of trying to restart my inside garden with a jungle feel so this video perfect. Wondered how many of these (aside from alocasia ) you grow in semi hydro? Also, do you have recommended sites to buy the Mcdowell philodendran please! Many thanks
Yes to part 2😊
What a lovely selection Claire! I'm an underwaterer so I'm leary of anthuriums but maybe I'll try that one, if the price comes down! Re hybrids being less fussy and often better doers than the parents, etc, it's actually called "hybrid vigour". And yes, it's used for plants and animals! Your euphorbia is amazing! I'm envious 😂
Beautiful sanaservias
Omg Claire I immediately thought of dog breeds with the hybrid thing, but clearly you didn’t 😂😂😂
I LOVE my bird of paradise too, I even think it likes me too.
My alocasia's & my Anthurium love Pon & do well in my home with 50 to 60 percent humidity
Nice dear ❤
Meow, cool video! Thanks for sharing xo.
Love your videos thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community. My husband just bought me 2 plants, one is the Venus Fly trap and the Nepenthes (Pitcher Plant). Do you own these plants?
Tree fern fibre. Can you please let us know what plants you can use this in. I ve looked online but there is really not a lot of info out there at all. I recently bought some and I was wondering if it could be used for Prayer plants or Alocasias?? Very very limited info online!!
Bird of Paradise is so easygoing 👍 Mine is 8 feet tall with 3 foot leaves now, it summers outside in 🇨🇦
Really love your videos. Can you say if your cast iron plant is the same as an aspidistra which also needs very little light. You are lucky to have such a well lit apartment,
I have 3 different zz plants. Im trying to consolidate do you think i could plant them together? Ive started babies from 2 of them but the Raven doesnt seem to want to propogate and thats the one i really like. Any suggestions?
As soon as i walked into walmart the other day, there was this cute fluffy little cactus. :) Had to touch it... wasnt until later I realized what it was. I used Gorilla glue to take out the tiny thorns, still taking the glue off my hands. :) Fn walmart...
I just repotted my medium size monstera delicioso. Wish me luck it survives 🤞
Hi! Have you ever had a leopard lily? I just picked up one at a plant swap and haven't really been able to find any care videos on them. Are they rare?
I think I had a zz plant stashed away somewhere where it got no light and i remembered it 6 months later. It was still alive and kicking. It got very big. I even put runner beans into its soil and let those use it to climb. Didn't care. Are we sure at this point that zz plants are not in fact made of plastic?😄
I've been after a bantels sensation for yrs but carnt find one any where. Another snake plant is the Metallica is very silvery x
My agloanema is a bit of a pain really. So fussy! Could you make a video on how you care for yours?
I can’t find the Euphorbia Cenis anywhere! There are too many Euphorbia to find the one you have. I’m in the US. Any recommendations for finding your specific plant?
Oh no. The comment about the dogs wasn't quite right. If you take two dog breeds and mix them you get diseases from two breeds in one dog. The same happens with plants, but the horticulturists select the healthiest plants to grow on and discard the others. This is why many hybrids are quite expensive. There are many years of work behind it. Otherwise, I love your programs. You are a fountain of knowledge and experience and I am so grateful that you share. You series about diffrent flower shops was great. I wish with all my heart that you could have your own TV show where you talk about different houseplants and interview different experts and growers about houseplants. There are many programs about gardens but none about potted plants. At least not in Sweden where I live.😁
Claire i have a lot of plants indoor but has problem with gnats, i bottom feed, put little rocks on top to cover the soil, winter not much gnats now its summer and they are back, i put yellow sticky too, what to do? Help!
Hello,Claire, my bird of paradise rolled up its leaves after moving from nursery pot and changing the soil. One leaf died. Will it survive?(
My Cast iron plant is pushing out 6 new shoots currently!
This was fantastic! Please, share more! I've got a question for anyone who is good with Birds of Paradise: how do you keep the leaves from curling? Mine is in at least 70% humidity, with consistently most soil. The temperature is average for a house and it's under a 24W Sansi grow bulb. It keeps giving me new leaves but the older ones curl. It's doubled in size over the past six months so I'm doing something right - but I'm missing something! Oh, I fertilize with the American version of Gold Leaf and Cal-Mag regularly and I keep those curly leaves clean with a Neem Oil solution. What am I missing?
Just a guess but perhaps too much light
They don't need that much light in my opinion. Try moving the grow light out some or maybe turning it off and see the response you get from the plant. They don't need fertilizer but once daily.
Thanks so much! I'll try it 💚
Hi, I am obsessed with your Euphoria Acrurensis and would love to get a started plant. I have looked on Etsy more times than a sane person would. Could it be under another possible name?
Desert candle cactus might send you in the right direction
I feel so called out by the title of this video! It's like you know me.
I didn t know, that are 7 or 8 Different species in the Agleonema family . Are you willing making a video?
Can you share few plant pups/cuttings with me
I wonder if anyone crows cyclamen these days. I’ve never seen those plants on the popular plant KZhead channels.
How did you get your euphoria to branch out like that?
Your BOP looks like my banana plant. Did you know that banana leaves do split when mature due to the elements (wind, rain etc) which I know doesn't happen inside your home. Weird 😅
Fastest brown/black thumbs in the west. I have a boot hill of plants. I have low light and dry environment. 😮😢
❤️❤️
❤
💚🌱
I got a baby Palodiflorum last year because it's been one of my wishlist plants for forever! I love mine so much 🥰 I have also realized that mine is also super thirsty. I got mine growing in a mix of fine orchid bark, worm castings, perlite, and coco coiure. I'm currently unemployed so tree fern fiber is going to have to wait till I get a job again lol
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💛
I killed my ZZ plant. I really don't know how?? I can keep 14 Alocasias happy but killed a zz plant. Go figure 🤔 lol 😆😅
😂😂 that’s like me and a snake plant just can’t keep them alive.
It's probably too much water. I water mine every 2 months and they are near a north window. It doesn't require much on fertilizer either.
You prob watered it too much. I water mine about once every couple of months. Seriously
Why is my bird of paradise look different
19:31 Yoli in the background here! It looks like she wants you to stop talking. A pup can’t chill out in that environment.
Yes, we do, but thats not a house plant. 😊
Interesting but the cactus plant is not taller than the woman
Too much ego.
Wow, you have some beautiful plants!! I know you don’t like orchid, but have you ever had a Vanda, they are Amazing 💞🪴 💞
❤❤❤❤
