We all want our homes to feel fresh, alive, and comforting, and that's where indoor plants come in. But let's be real, Lykkers—not all of us have the time (or the gardening talent) to care for high-maintenance plants.

That's why we're focusing on beautiful, easy-to-care-for potted greens that anyone can handle. Whether you're living in a cozy apartment or a big family home, these green buddies will brighten your space without stressing you out.

7 Indoor Plants That Can Help You Fight Stress and Anxiety

Video: Planet Plants

1. Snake Plant – Tough and Trendy

Also known as “mother-in-law's tongue,” the snake plant is a true survivor. It grows upright with long, striped leaves that look modern and stylish in any corner. It doesn't need much sunlight and only wants water once every 2–3 weeks. We love how it adds a clean, structured vibe to our rooms—and it's one of the top plants for purifying indoor air!

2. ZZ Plant – Shine Without Effort

The ZZ plant is shiny, strong, and totally unfussy. Its waxy green leaves grow in pairs and can handle low light like a champ. Forgot to water it for a few days (or even weeks)? No problem—it stores water in its roots! It's a great pick if we're often out and about or still getting used to plant care.

3. Pothos – The Hanging Star

If we want something that grows fast and adds a little drama, pothos is our go-to. It's a trailing plant with heart-shaped leaves that can grow long and lush. Pop it in a hanging pot or let it climb a shelf. It loves bright, indirect light, but also handles lower light like a pro. Plus, we can snip off a vine and regrow it in water—super fun and easy!

4. Peace Lily – Soothing and Elegant

Peace lilies have a calm, peaceful look with deep green leaves and white blooms that appear a few times a year. They prefer shady spots and only need water when their leaves start to droop—a clear, gentle reminder. Besides looking classy, they also help clean the air in our space.

5. Spider Plant – Playful and Productive

This one's a favorite for beginners and busy bees. The spider plant grows fast, has fun striped leaves, and sends out baby shoots that we can replant. It's happy in indirect sunlight and bounces back even if we forget it for a bit. It's like the friend who always forgives and keeps on smiling.

6. Rubber Plant – Big, Bold, and Low-Key

If we want a statement plant without the stress, the rubber plant is perfect. Its dark green (sometimes reddish) leaves are thick and glossy, and it adds a bold look to living rooms or workspaces. It enjoys bright light but doesn't mind partial shade. Just water it when the topsoil feels dry—simple and stress-free!

7. Aloe Vera – Healing and Hardy

Aloe isn't just a plant—it's a little green first-aid kit! The gel inside its leaves can soothe minor skin issues, and it grows happily on sunny windowsills. It likes to be watered once every couple of weeks and actually prefers to be left alone most of the time. A true minimalist plant that does double duty!

8. Lucky Bamboo – Zen Vibes for Busy Days

This plant brings peaceful energy and is super low-maintenance. We can grow it in water or soil, and it only needs indirect light and a water change every two weeks. Many of us love putting lucky bamboo in our work areas or entryways to bring in a calm, fresh feel.

Tips for Success Without Stress

Here are a few quick tips to help even the busiest Lykkers keep their greenery happy:

• Don't overwater: Most of these plants prefer dry spells—when in doubt, wait!

• Keep it indirect: Bright but indirect light works for almost all of them.

• Dust the leaves: A gentle wipe every now and then keeps them shiny and healthy.

• Choose pretty pots: A stylish pot makes the plant feel more like décor and less like a chore.
