Which potted plants do not need sunlight? Four small potted plants with low watering frequency

Insufficient indoor light and low watering frequency? These four potted plants do not need frequent sunlight, nor do you have to constantly remember to water them. They are suitable for busy people or beginners, and are simply a blessing for renters and overtime workers. Even if you occasionally forget to take care of them, they can still live quite vigorously.

Small-leaf red nanmu:Small-leaf red nanmu (Syzygium buxifolium) looks especially delicate, with small oval leaves that are glossy green, and from a distance it looks like a mini forest. The best part is that it is not picky about light, so it can be placed in a corner of the living room or beside a desk, as long as it is not completely pitch-black. Watering is even more worry-free; water only after the soil has dried out completely, about once every ten days or so is enough, in summer when evaporation is fast at most once a week, and in winter once every half month is no problem. I once kept one, went on a business trip for half a month without tending it, and when I came back it still looked vigorous, just a little wilted leaves, and after a bit of water it perked up the next day, very easy to keep.

Pepperwood:Pepperwood (Zanthoxylum beecheyanum), the name alone sounds quite special. In fact, its leaves even have a faint pepper smell, and after touching them your hands will retain the fragrance, making it especially suitable for the bathroom or entryway. It is also an expert at "shade tolerance", and can grow in a spot with diffused light on the balcony or in the living room far from the window. Never put it under direct sun, as the leaves easily scorch. Watering should be even "lazier" its roots are prone to rot, so the soil must be thoroughly dry, and you should water only when the top two centimeters below the surface are dry. Water thoroughly each time but do not let water accumulate. A colleague of mine kept one in the office and watered it only twice a month, yet it still stayed lush green, and it can also serve as a natural "aromatherapy", killing two birds with one stone.

June snow:It looks especially beautiful when it blooms with small white flowers, and the flowering period is quite long. This flower is especially suitable for indoors, and it can bloom even in ordinary light, though giving it some diffused light when flowering will make it bloom more vigorously. Pay attention to watering; it likes a slightly moist but not waterlogged environment, about once every five or six days. In summer spray a bit more water on the leaves, and in winter water less. My mom kept one in the study, and when tired from reading you can glance at it, the small white flowers are especially pleasing. The key is that you do not have to think about watering it every day, which is very friendly to people with poor memory.

Asparagus fern:Asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) is a potted plant loved by scholars and writers, with fine, tender leaves that carry an elegant air. It is especially afraid of sun, and its leaves turn yellow as soon as it is exposed, so the most suitable place is indoors with ventilation and diffused light, such as beside a bookshelf or on the inner side of a windowsill. Watering must be measured well, neither too dry nor too wet, about once every seven or eight days, watering each time until water flows out from the bottom of the pot. Usually you can spray a bit of water on the leaves to maintain humidity. I used to always kill asparagus ferns, and only later learned it was because I watered too often. After switching to watering only after the soil dried out, that pot has now grown to half a meter tall, with branches hanging down beautifully, placed on the desk as decoration, giving energy for study and work.

Actually, keeping potted plants does not have to be too much trouble. Like these four kinds, you do not have to move them around every day for sunlight, and the watering frequency is also low, so even beginners can handle them easily. Just pay a little attention normally, water a bit when the soil is dry, and occasionally wipe the dust off the leaves, and they will grow well. Placing a few pots at home adds some green, makes the air a little fresher, and the key is that it can also reduce stress in a busy life. Why not do it? Try it quickly, and maybe you too can become a "little plant expert"!
