Five low-maintenance plants for interior living spaces

Plants are amazing. They’re colourful, lively, and offer an easy way to customise your space. But they don’t just look pretty, they naturally enhance our mental and physical wellbeing.

We believe that plants should be incorporated into all living spaces and have used our expert knowledge to choose five low-maintenance that will transform any environment into a plant-filled sanctuary.

These plants have been chosen because they:

• Are hardy houseplant that need minimal care.
• Require very little watering and thrive in most light conditions.
• Naturally purify the air, removing CO₂, dust, and allergens.

The Monstera Deliciosa, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, has become a must-have houseplant in recent years. It has attractive bright green leaves that are constantly changing; perfect for livening up even the dullest of corners.

SNAKE PLANT

A very sturdy houseplant that grows upright, making it ideal for any sized space. The tall sword-like leaves are uniquely textured, providing a fascinating mix of yellow and green shades.
