Your apartment floor plan was created for human inhabitants but notnecessarily house plants. If your place doesn’t have lots of direct sunlight, you can still enjoy things that thrive in artificial light. Spider plants are fun, easy plants that don’t need an abundance natural light. These plants feature long flat leaves that reproduce by spintering out “spiderettes,” or tiny versions of themselves that hang from the host plant. They look nice on higher surface that give them a place to dangle. Spider plants are pretty forgiving and only require care when the soil dry out.

If you’re busy working, studying, or experiencing your community’s many amenities, you might fail to remember to water your leafy friends. To stop killing your vegetation, buy cacti and succulents.
