1. Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Water every 2-6 weeks. The Snake Plant thrives on neglect and prefers its soil to dry out completely between watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
2. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
Water every 1-2 weeks. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing it to dry out between waterings but not entirely.
3. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
Water every 1-2 weeks. Pothos prefer the soil to dry out between watering. They can tolerate some underwatering but not overwatering.
4. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum spp.)
Water every 1 week. Peace Lilies like consistently moist soil. They will droop slightly when in need of water.
5. Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)
Water every 1-2 weeks. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering. Monsteras thrive in slightly moist conditions.
6. ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
Water every 2-3 weeks. The ZZ Plant stores moisture in its rhizomes, so it can withstand drought conditions and prefers to dry out between waterings.
7. Aloe Vera
Water every 3 weeks. Aloe Vera requires infrequent watering and prefers its soil to be completely dry before the next watering.
8. Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica)
Water every 1-2 weeks. Rubber plants prefer the top inch of soil to dry out before watering while avoiding waterlogging.
9. Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata)
Water every 2-3 days. Boston Ferns like their soil to be constantly moist but also well-drained to prevent root rot.
