Four houseplants that love winter and 'can't be killed'

It can be hard to keep houseplants alive without full care and attention — thankfully, not with these

by · Daily Record

Certain houseplants have fewer care requirements compared to others, but it can be tricky to know which ones. The experts at Stelrard have researched to find out which house plants are "virtually impossible" for owners to kill.

They have pinpointed those that are notably resilient to neglect and explaining the minimal attention they require. Here are the ones they chose:

Money tree

"Who says money doesn't grow on trees? Well, not literally with the money tree, but it is believed to bring good luck to whoever owns this plant. Simply water it weekly and place it in direct and partial sunlight."

According to the experts, space is key for the growth of the money tree, and should you need to transplant it, spring is the ideal season, reports the Express.

Peace lily

For a plant that's easy to maintain and visually appealing, the specialists recommend the peace lily. The specialists commented: "This is perhaps one of the easiest plants to take care of, it prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate lower light levels. It produces an attractive white flower that can last for weeks."

It naturally blooms in the spring, but with proper attention, it may exhibit flowers more frequently. They caution that peace lilies might react to tap water so filtered water is best.

Spider plant

The spider plant, according to the horticultural pros, stands out as extremely accommodating and simple to cultivate: "You can basically forget about this plant and it will still thrive in your home. Do we dare call it the perfect plant? Just a note of caution for pet owners: cats may find the spider plant mildly hallucinogenic and somewhat habit-forming."

Caring for a spider plant couldn't be easier: ensure it isn't overwatered and let the soil dry out before the next watering.

Devil's ivy

Devil's ivy, also hailed as pothos houseplant, has become a top choice for indoor decor enthusiasts. The specialists noted: "They're pretty adaptable too, so will be happy indoors or even in a shady outdoor space. They will need a little bit of indirect sunlight, and some water when the soil starts to feel dry."

Other hard-to-kill favourites range from aloe vera to corn plants, panda plants, and the robust Chinese evergreen.
