Are you a plant person? No? Then keeping a plant alive can be a challenge, particularly if you are busy and hardly in your apartment. However, that shouldn’t stop you from adding some greenery into your apartment's decor. Here are two quick tips for picking the perfect houseplant for the non-plant person.

Low light: not all plants need large amounts of sunlight. Plants like the ZZ require little sunlight to thrive, which is perfect in an apartment setting, where certain areas of a living space can be dark.

Low water: the toughest part of owning a plant is remembering to water it everyday. So why not just skip that part by choosing a plant that need little water. Options like the ponytail palm only need to be watered once a week, which is perfect for the plant newbie.
