Plants Suited for Lazy Gardeners: A Casual Bit of Care and They Will Fill the Pot
Keeping some flowers and plants at home not only purifies the indoor air but also cultivates the mind, yet some people care for their plants with obvious dedication and still fail to grow them well. In fact, some plants actually need rough treatment, and watering them too much makes them grow poorly instead. So here are several lazy-gardener plants for you.
Desert Rose
Desert rose (Adenium obesum) is a type of succulent with a graceful plant shape, relatively thick dark green leaves, and rather showy small flowers with an extremely long blooming period; placing it at home gives people a striking, eye-catching feeling. The desert rose has extremely tenacious vitality, and it will grow very well as long as it is placed in a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight; by no means water it frequently.
Black Beauty
Black beauty (Dracaena deremensis 'Janet Craig') is a typical foliage plant with a compact plant shape, dark green leaves, and irregular silvery-white spots on the leaves, giving it high ornamental value. In addition, it can effectively purify indoor air. Black beauty is relatively easy to grow: it likes a warm, humid environment, tolerates shade, and is fairly drought-tolerant, so it can grow very well for a long time without any watering.
Money Tree
Money tree (Pachira aquatica) is a foliage plant with broad, emerald-green leaves, and it can also produce pretty small flowers; placing it at home can add some color too. The money tree also symbolizes bringing in wealth and treasure, so it is deeply loved by everyone. When growing a money tree, be sure not to water it too much, otherwise it is prone to drowning from waterlogging; just place it in a spot with diffused light.
Peperomia
Peperomia (Peperomia obtusifolia) is petite and lovely, with relatively thick, emerald-green leaves that are full of luster, giving people a fresh and natural feeling; placing it in a living room adds quite a bit of cozy warmth as well. Peperomia likes a warm, humid environment, dislikes intense direct sunlight, tolerates partial shade, and is fairly drought-tolerant; by no means water it too much.
