The anthurium is this plant with shiny leaves and red or white flowers.

It flowers very easily and the flowers last for months.

The other interest of the anthurium is its ease of maintenance.

These plants thrive in bright, indirect light.

They don't like to have continuously wet soil.

Watering once a week is more than enough or as soon as the soil is dry.

Perfect for anyone who forgets to water the plants!

If there is one indestructible plant, it is bamboo.

Just put the bamboo in a large vase of water and change it from time to time.

Leave the vase in any room you want, even without strong light.

Perfect for an office for example!

Asians love it, because bamboo is Feng Shui and is said to bring good luck.

Bamboo can also be grown in a pot of soil. Ideal on a balcony to hide from neighbours.

4. Bromeliad

10 Plants You Can t Kill (Even If You Don t Have a Green Thumb).

Bromeliads are exotic and tropical plants that do not require regular watering.

Why ? Because they retain water in their leaves.

Bromeliad is drought tolerant. Water it only when the top two centimeters of soil are dry.

You can put the bromeliad indoors or outdoors. It likes everywhere as long as it has sun.

5. The kalanchoe

These succulents are very hardy.

They bear bright, cheerful flowers that last for months.

No need to water it too often, the kalanchoe hates wet soil.

It thrives in partial sun, indoors or out.

In addition, it grows easily after having repotted it.

At home, I put them in a pot on the railing of my balcony and without special precautions, they grow very well.

They flower continuously with little or no water, really practical.

6. The pachira (or money tree)

10 Plants You Can t Kill (Even If You Don t Have a Green Thumb).

This is a tree that lives up to its name!

And you'll love it even more when you see how easy it is to maintain and cost-free.

The pachira loves full or partial sun and hates wet soil.

It will suffice to water it every 8/10 days when the soil is dry.

7. Orchids

10 Plants You Can t Kill (Even If You Don t Have a Green Thumb).

Despite their reputation, orchids are not that demanding.

Just let them live as they want, once you've found the right place.

Mine love to be behind the bay window (contrary to what is advised to do) and I bathe them once a week. That is to say that I let them soak in a basin of water for at least 1 hour.

Others prefer not to be in direct sunlight. And that's it.

We don't have to do more for them.

The orchid blooms again once a year.

Its flowers last between 2 and 3 months, which is very pleasant.

8. The moon flower

10 Plants You Can t Kill (Even If You Don t Have a Green Thumb).

The moonflower is an impossible plant to kill!

This green plant is perfect for inside a home.

Also called spathiphyllum, it brings lush and voluminous greenery.

In addition, it requires very little maintenance. Its advantage?

She lets you know when she's thirsty!

How? 'Or' What ? It's very simple, you will see its leaves sag.

And as soon as you water it, they go for a spin!

Place it in the light, but away from direct sunlight. If it pleases, it will bloom all year round.

9. Pothos

It is also called "Devil's creeper".

This indoor plant adapts to all situations:shade or light. But that's not all.

It also lives well in dry soil if you forget to water them...

...only in soil that is too wet if you water it too often!

In short, it is indestructible! I would even say that it is impossible to get rid of.

In addition, they are really easy to take cuttings:throw the stems in a glass of water and wait to see roots.

When they are a few centimeters, put the stem in a pot of soil.

10. Succulents
