The First 5 Houseplants to Get

[Greeting]

Every plant owner has to start somewhere, so even if you have never taken care of a 
single plant before, these will be ideal for you! Here are the first 5 houseplants to get for 
your home.


1. Snake Plant

If you can only get one houseplant to start with, it should be a snake plant. It would 
actually be impressive if you managed to kill this plant, which is why it is always 
recommended to people brand new to caring for plants. The snake plant will improve 
the air quality in your home and is extremely easy to take care of.


2. Pothos

For a hanging plant in your home, consider a pothos plant. While these can be toxic to 
cats (so keep it high enough where they can’t get it), they are beautiful and very easy to 
take care of. It grows quickly, so that is something to be aware of, but it does well in 
most environments.


3. Peace Lily

A beautiful plant that will add a pop of color to your home is the peace lily plant. This 
does better in brighter light, so it is a good plant for your kitchen, living room, or any 
room with a south-facing wall. It’s also great for the bedroom since it helps to filter the 
air. 


4. Monstera

A very popular houseplant to own is the monstera, which is modern and stylish, but also 
easy to care for. You will find many different sizes, so you can find one to fit any room in 
your home. You do want to place it near a window so it gets enough light, and water 
regularly. 


5. Moon Cactus

The last plant recommendation we have for you is the moon cactus. This is a really fun 
plant that doesn’t need as much light, and has a little pop of color similar to the peace 
lily. Use a soil meant for cactus and succulents with a pot that has drainage, and it will 
do very well in your home.
