Don’t Give Up Before Trying These"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you’ve had nothing but unfortunate incidents with houseplants and are reluctant towards any more attempts to bring something growing into your home, you should take a look at these options you have. They are considered plants you can’t kill, though of course prolonged excess or lack will eventually kill any plant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peperomia<\/h2>\n

\"plants<\/a><\/p>\n

The spiky projections\u00a0bring to mind succulents, but the\u00a0waxy plants thrive in\u00a0more humid conditions. Bring one to work too \u2014\u00a0the species even flourishes\u00a0under fluorescent lights.<\/p>\n

Plants you can’t kill. Dieffenbachia<\/h2>\n

\"plants<\/a><\/p>\n

Place this\u00a0beauty by a curtained window,\u00a0protecting new leaves from extra\u00a0sun. With\u00a0filtered light, the showy plant is one happy camper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spider Plant<\/h2>\n

\"plants<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The\u00a0fast-growing shoots of this country actually produce little “babies” you can repot for added greenery elsewhere. Just stick to well-lit spots, and don’t forget weekly watering.<\/p>\n

Plants you can’t kill. Aloe<\/h2>\n

\"plants<\/a><\/p>\n

Those spiraling leaves certainly look cool, and they’ll really\u00a0thrive\u00a0on your desk or bedside table. Aloe loves indirect light, plus a good soak every week or two.<\/p>\n

English Ivy<\/h2>\n

\"plants<\/a><\/p>\n

Its beautifully shaped leaves and long tendrils make English ivy ideal to place on a high shelf or above the mantel. Keep it away from the strong light in the summer, but make sure it has enough lighting in winter and water it moderately.<\/p>\n

\n

Plants you can’t kill. Rubber plant<\/h2>\n

\"plants<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rubber trees can measure over 100 feet tall\u00a0in their native Asia, but regular pruning can keep the ornamental variety in check. If the broad leaves get a little dusty, bring out the mayo for a florist-approved polishing trick.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jade plant<\/h2>\n

\"plants<\/a><\/p>\n

Native to South Africa, jade plants are succulents that retain water in their round, green leaves. Desert and succulent plants go dormant if they don’t get enough water, so they’re very practical. When they get water again, they start to rehydrate and grow.<\/p>\n
