    It can be nice to have some greenery in your home and apartment.

    Sadly, not everyone has had great luck keeping plants alive.

    If you want to raise houseplants, but are looking for something that is impossible to kill, here are seven plants that you might want to learn more about.

    Aloe

    A lot of people are drawn to this plant because it doesn’t need to be watered all that often.

    If you are the type of person that is always forgetting that they need to be watering your plant, then aloe might be a plant that you want to bring into your home.

    This plant tends to do very well in indoor environments, and it doesn’t require too much direct sunlight.

    If you’re looking for a low-hassle plant that you can raise in an apartment, then this plant might be exactly what you’ve been searching for. Aloe can also be used medicinally.

    You can find aloe here.

    Lavender

    Lavender Plant

    Lavender is famous for its beautiful smell; it’s used in all kinds of fragrances.

    It’s also known for its beautiful purple color.

    Even though this plant is gorgeous to look at, it isn’t hard to take care of at all.

    In fact, a lot of experts say that this is one of the easiest plants to raise.

    Of course, if you don’t feel like you’re up to the task of caring for any kind of plant, lavender also looks very nice in a vase when it’s dried.

    Dried lavender can last for a long time, and it can be a lovely way to add a bit of color to your home.

    Succulents


    Succulents are a very trendy plant right now.

    One of the reasons these plants are so popular is because they’re very hard to kill.

    You can generally get away with watering a succulent about once a month or so.

    Even if you’re out of town a lot, you’ll be able to keep these plants healthy.

    There are all kinds of succulents out there, and you should be able to find some options that will fit in well with your home.

    A lot of succulents are also very small, which makes them a nice choice if you don’t have a ton of extra space.

    You can pick up some succulents here.

    Peace Lily

    The peace lily is a dramatic-looking flower that seems like it would require a lot of special care.

    Thankfully, appearances can be deceiving.

    While this plant does require a little more watering than a cactus might need, these flowering plants are still fairly easy to take care of.

    These plants also tend to do well indoors, which makes them a wonderful choice for houses and apartments.

    If you love the look of lilies, you’ll be pleased to know that these beautiful flowers aren’t difficult to care for at all.

    You can find a peace lily here.

    Spider Plants

    Some people are put off by the name of spider plants.

    After all, the average person wants to keep spiders out of their home.

    Thankfully, these plants don’t actually attract spiders; they’re just called spider plants because of the way that they look.

    These plants are also one of the easiest plants to raise.

    Not everyone loves the look of spider plants, but if you’re drawn to these plants, you’ll want to check them out and see what you think of them.

    If you do find these plants to be appealing, you’ll be glad to know that they’re extremely hard to kill.

    You can find spider plants here.

    Snake Plants


    Like spider plants, these plants have a name that puts some people off.

    However, these green plants don’t look very snake-like. In fact, a lot of people really like the look of these plants.

    Snake plants are very simple to take care of, and they can withstand a lot. I frequently forget to water my snake plant and it shows no sign of distress.

    Even if you’ve neglected your plants in the past, you should be able to keep these plants alive without too many problems.

    Heart Leaf Philodendron

    This plant might not be easy to spell, but it is fairly easy to take care of.

    As long as you can remember to water your plants, you should be able to keep one of these plants in good health.

    If you do wind up forgetting about your plants for a little while, you should be able to nurse these plants back to health without too much of a problem.

    These plants can survive a lot, and a lot of people that have killed their plants before have managed to keep these houseplants healthy.

    You can pick up one of these here.

    If you’re looking for a houseplant that is very hard to kill, you’ll find that you have plenty of options.

    There are a lot of plants out there that require complex care, but there are also plants that can thrive in all sorts of circumstances.
