It can also thrive in homes with temperature inconsistencies and dim lighting. So if your partner/roommate/family member likes to keep it at a cool 65 degrees while you prefer a warmer 73, it’s no biggie! Your plant won’t suffer.
ZZ Plant
If you want a plant you can ignore for weeks, buy yourself a ZZ plant. It’s a top pick for plant beginners. ZZ plants survive in all kinds of lighting conditions and can go two to four weeks without water.
They’re virtually indestructible! Just make sure not to place it in super bright areas and that its pot has drainage holes.
Prickly Pear
The prickly pear cactus is an undemanding, low-maintenance succulent. If you take good care of yours, you’ll be rewarded with colorful, cheery flowers.
This plant does best in bright sunlight and can tolerate weeks with no water. Many prickly pears can live for twenty years or more with the proper care.
Chinese Evergreen
Chinese evergreens come in different colors, ranging from a patterned light green to a striking hot pink. They can withstand most lighting situations but prefer bright, indirect light to keep their color from fading.
The Chinese evergreen requires watering every one to two weeks. Take care if you have pets, though! This plant is toxic to cats and dogs.
