7 Apartment-Friendly Plants

7 Apartment-Friendly Plants

While living in Bozeman, Mt, you’re surrounded by some of the most beautiful nature. Even though we can adventure throughout the outdoors all we want, how great would it be to bring the presence of nature indoors? While living in an apartment, it can be difficult to keep certain plants alive that might outgrow the space or need a yard to thrive. But don’t worry! Here are 7 apartment-friendly plants for you to brighten up your spaces with.

1. Pothos

Pothos plants are the perfect touch of greenery to add to your ceiling or high shelving units. This leafy green plant loves to hang over the side of its pot or climb up the side of a lattice. It comes in many different colors and variations that will surely complement your space.

This plant also purifies your air, an added plus to having this plant in your home. Don’t worry about this plant dying on you, as it’s pretty low maintenance and doesn’t require specific lighting or amount of water. Just keep an eye on the leaves for any signs of damage!

2. Snake Plant

If you don’t have a green thumb, snake plants are the perfect plant for you to add greenery to your space. They can easily withstand neglect if you get busy or forget to water this plant.

These potted plants come in many shapes and sizes. They are also purifiers just like the pothos plant. This is a great plant to add to your spacious luxury bathroom on the countertop or on your shelving.

3. ZZ Plant

The ZZ plant is home to Zanzibar and is easily one of the lowest maintenance plants out there. This plant has strong bright green leaves that only need to be watered around twice a month. It requires almost no light, so feel free to keep this plant in a corner that doesn’t get much light away from your floor-to-ceiling windows at The Penrose.

4. Iron Plant

Just like the ZZ plant that thrives in a darker corner of your apartment, the iron plant is a perfect addition to your modern apartment in Montana. This plant has dark green leaves that will revitalize any space you place them in. This plant can survive pretty much anything, from poor soil to little water or sunlight. Don’t stress about leaving this plant behind as you head to your next adventure around Montana.

5. Cacti

Cacti plants are some of the most resilient plants. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and even colors! Picking out a few cacti plants for your windowsill is the perfect way to add a bit of color or plant life to your one-bedroom apartment for rent in Bozeman. Cacti need very little water and care – just make sure they get plenty of sunlight from your floor-to-ceiling windows. Start your very own collection soon. Just be careful with their needles as they tend to be sharp!

6. Succulents

Just like cacti, succulents come in a wide array of sizes, shapes, and colors. These beautiful plants also make a great addition to your cacti, as they need little care and water. A fun way to add these to your apartment would be mixing a few of your favorite cacti with your favorite succulents and adding them to a windowsill pot. What a great housewarming gift for yourself!

7. Bamboo

Last on our list of 7 apartment-friendly plants is bamboo. This plant is by far the most unique plant on the list, as it can create a positive living environment. Bamboo needs lots of shade and water to survive, so it will be easy to keep this uplifting plant alive. This plant is considered to be the living embodiment of feng shui, which we could all use a little bit of in our apartments near Bozeman! Add a bamboo plant on your bathroom countertop or in the corner of your bedroom and watch it thrive.

 

Whichever one of these 7 apartment-friendly plants you pick to put in your home will be a great choice for you. If you’re really doubting your ability to find your green thumb with some of these lower-maintenance plants, there’s nothing wrong with adding a fake plant or two! Whatever you can do to add a little bit of nature into our modern homes. There are a number of fake plants that could easily be mistaken for the real thing.

Have fun adding some greenery to your home!
