If you’re a nature lover and want to liven up your space with the right indoor plants, let’s just be clear about one thing not all indoor plants thrive in the same environment.
Some are a little more demanding and fussier of your time and require particular periods of sunlight and water but not too much water, as well as airflow but nothing too breezy.
If you don’t consider yourself a green thumb and have time to fuss over indoor plants, you’d better invest in the right low-maintenance options.
Here are some of the prettiest indoor house plants to brighten up your home (and keep alive!).
1. The Phalaenopsis Orchid
Admittedly, orchids are not the easiest indoor plant to keep alive. However, there are a few orchid variations that are generally low-maintenance and beautiful, to boot.
An orchid is a tropical plant, after all, so it needs the right humidity levels, light, and temperature to thrive. Check out Yulu Sweet Home for gardening gadgets to help keep your orchids alive.

This indoor plant is on the smaller side, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in color and vibrancy. It’s also one the most low-maintenance houseplants you could opt for, despite its flourish of deep purple flowers with a bright yellow center.
They’re highly adaptive to a number of different conditions and the flowers are quite hardy, too. In order to keep this plant alive and thriving, remember to water them from the bottom, up.
