Which indoor plants are best for busy people. If you are very busy but would like to have indoor plants which would you suggest that would be easy to care for and would not die too quickly.

Succulents and cactus. I love succulents, because it seems the less attention you pay to them the better they do! For reals! I have a small aloe vera plant, and it seems that ever since I barely pay attention to it is growing beautifully. Now is bigger than before and there are 3 new tiny baby plants growing in!

Mother-in-law tongue does not requir a lot of watering or sun so they are great for busy people. You do not have to worry about repotting them, either. They come with a dark green leaf, a green leaf with whitish edges and a pale green leaf. All are easy care plants. I have had one for over 10 yrs and it is still growing strong. I did repot it after about 5 yrs and plan to be doing that again soon.

In my opinion the best plants for very busy people are cacti. They're really easy to grow and they don't need to be watered often. If you prefer plants with leaves, choose Spathiphyllum. It looks very unique and pretty:)

Vining plants plants can be rather easy to care for if you don't mind occasionally cutting them back to curtail growth. Philodendron or an ivy can be be a good choice.

Succulents or peace lily? The best care you can give your peace lily is to water it attentively. When (and only when) the potted soil is dry, add enough water to make it damp, but not so much as to create standing water.Too little water will cause the plant to wilt and die - in fact, if you neglect to water your plant, you should be able to see it visibly droop. However, too much water can cause a condition called root rot which can be fatal to the plant. Aim to water about once per week , when the soil is dry. It is sometimes recommended to even wait until the plant has begun to wilt ever-so-slightly before each watering. Hope it helped.
