Here are some of my suggestions.

For busy people with work

Some people are very busy with work, so they can choose some ornamental plants that are relatively adaptable to the environment and more tolerant to shade and drought, but not those that require frequent watering or plants that require sufficient light. Like yarrow, coreopsis, purple coneflower, blanket flower, butterfly weed and lavender. If you want to plant indoor plants that do not require too much light, choices such as lily, mosaic, philodendron, large-leaf green dill, and ball orchid.

For those who live in small spaces

If you don’t have a lot of space and don’t want to put potted plants on the table or windowsill, then you need to raise some hanging plants. You can use vertical hanging pots to hang them in the air and let their branches and leaves hang down to form attractive plants. You can raise some foliage plants such as ivy, hanging bamboo plum, heart leaf philodendron or green dill.

 

For those who travel frequently

If you are going to travel frequently and want to keep some plants that are particularly easy to maintain at home, and do not need constant care, then you can grow a few pots of plants such as tiger orchid, spider orchid, cactus, money tree, lucky bamboo and aloe vera.

For those with small pets at home

If you have a cute kitten or puppy at home. Don't worry, these indoor trailing plants are safe for cats’ and dogs‘ health. String of Hearts, Purple Velvet Plant, String of Turtles, Burros tail, Hoya kerrii etc.

How to maintain indoor plants?

Choose Healthy Houseplants

Choose different plants according to your personal situation above. For small to medium climbing plants, vining plants or trailing plants! Money Plant, Monstera, Creepers, Pothos, Vanilla, and so on.

Consider Your Light and Space.

Place your plant near a light source, whether it's natural or artificial. Light is one of the most important factors for growing houseplants. Plants require this energy in order to grow, bloom and produce seed.

Fertilize Indoor Plants Regularly.

Most indoor plants will benefit from regular or semi-regular fertilization. Plants get the majority of the nutrients they need from the soil, but the soil has to get those nutrients from somewhere, too.

Water Indoor Plants Properly

Make sure the plant pot has drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.

Provide Adequate Humidity

Keep the potting soil moist- It's important to make sure soil is not too wet nor too dry.
