- Light Requirements: Low to indirect light.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry between watering.
- Benefits: Air-purifying, low-maintenance.
- Best product: Protect Spray keeps leaves clean
-
ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia): The ZZ plant is another tought-as-boots favourite. It's glossy, dark green leaves are here for the bougie plant parents; they add a touch of elegance to any room!
- Light Requirements: Low to bright, indirect light.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

-
Pothos (Epipremnum aureum): Pothos, also known as Devil's Ivy, is our versatile pick. If you're looking for a hanging plant, this ones for you! Keep in mind that it will grow in dim light, but leaves will be smaller and more sparse.

Remember - ALL plants need light, so as a rule of thumb, if you can't read a book in a room without the light off, it's just not plant friendly. Try these stalwart plant babes, and you will have a lush jungle in no time!
