Good news for those of us with a less-than-green thumb: some of the best houseplants are actually the easiest to take care of! Late winter is the perfect time to give your houseplants some much needed TLC, as most plants have already entered an active growth period with the increased day length. Five easy tasks you can do to keep your houseplants in tip-top shape include increasing watering frequency, aerating soil, regular fertilizing, relocating, and repotting.

Tillandsia, commonly known as the air plant, is an especially great option for those of us who are more forgetful. Without the need for any water or soil, all that’s required is regular nutrients from the air. For added colour and life in minimal spaces, the expert from Plants123 recommends cacti and orchids for the low maintenance gardener.
