Houseplants, as much joy and life as they bring to our homes, can be incredibly demanding. While caring for them is no doubt a mindful activity, it's all too easy to put their needs at the bottom of the to-do list when other priorities take over. That's why I'm a big fan of houseplants that thrive on neglect. That's right, there are several plants that will not only survive but also grow healthily when you forget to water them and allow them to collect dust in a corner.
These indoor plants aren't simply easy indoor plants, but ones that actually prefer to have less attention, growing quietly in peace while admired from afar. They're ideal if you travel a lot, don't have ideal growing conditions in your home, or if you simply need to dedicate your time elsewhere but yearn for some greenery to brighten up your interiors.
