I have decided to become a plant parent, like every other Millennial and Gen Z during COVID. Plants help decorate your home (that maybe now is your workspace) and they are a fun hobby to have!
If you’re looking for indoor plants that have limited requirements for care – this list is for you.
This list of indoor plants is organized into largest size to smallest size, from full grown house plants to small desk plants!

Peace Lillies

Spider Plants
