These low maintenance indoor trees mean anyone can have one - even me, who can't keep plants alive

a bedroom with a large indoor tree

Indoor trees are the new must-have piece of furniture. They add interest and texture and literal life to a room and there's also something so novel about seeing a fully grown tree indoors amongst sofas and beds and kitchens. However, if you aren't super green-thumbed like me, the idea of trying to keep a tree thriving is slightly daunting but luckily there are plenty of low-maintenance options that cope well indoors and don't take too much looking after (I can even vouch for some of these, which are currently thriving in my home).

We asked plant experts what are the best indoor trees that can cope with a little... neglect. Maybe you aren't around enough to water your indoor garden daily, or your home doesn't get a ton of natural light or you just don't have a good track record with plants. Whatever your issue, here are the easiest to care for indoor trees that both look wonderful and are super low maintenance.
