This list of 15 great indoor houseplants for your Scottsdale home will inspire you to head to the home improvement store and pick up some lush greenery.

15 Hard-to-Kill Indoor Houseplants for Your Golf Course Home in Scottsdale

Even tough plants need a little TLC, but if you’re not the best plant parent, you can still enjoy thriving blooms and lush greenery by choosing a few of these hard-to-kill indoor houseplants.

#1. African Violets

African violets are extremely popular because they bloom several times each year, and they thrive in bright, indirect light.

#2. Air Plants

Tallandsia, known as an air plant, only requires you to soak them in water for a few hours every week-and-a-half. They don’t even need soil to grow, and some varieties display beautiful flowers.

#3. Peperomia

Peperomia can thrive under fluorescent lighting, and they do well in humid conditions (like bathrooms).

#4. Peace Lily

The peace lily plant can grow up to 6 feet tall, and it’s a powerful air filter. You can get varieties that don’t grow that large for smaller spaces, too.

#5. Spider Plant

Spider plants love bright light, and they only need to be watered weekly. Bonus: They grow quickly and produce shoots you can re-plant in another pot for another room.

#6. Aloe

Great for the kitchen or on an end table, aloe thrives in indirect light. Even better, you can snap off a leaf to treat minor cuts, scrapes and burns.

#7. Dragon Tree

Dracaena marginata, or dragon tree, is a great low-light plant – but it’s toxic to household pets, so if you have them, skip this plant and choose something else.

#8. English Ivy

English ivy comes in a wide range of varieties, including cascade, domino and Irish lace. It’s a beautiful climbing plant that clears benzene from the air, too.

#9. Cast-Iron Plant

Scientifically, it’s Aspidistra elatior, but the cast-iron plant can tolerate anything you can throw at it – poor quality soil, low light and a lack of water.

#10. Dieffenbachia

Dieffenbachia thrives on filtered light and only moderate water, and its beautiful two-toned leaves look amazing in any space.

#11. Schefflera

Schefflera – which also goes by the name “umbrella tree” – usually grows slowly (but it can reach 15 feet). This one’s a no-go with pets, though; its leaves can be mildly toxic.

#12. Mother-in-law’s Tongue

Also called a snake plant, mother-in-law’s tongue can last a month without watering. It does best in partial sun.

#13. Pothos

Pothos is a leafy vine that does well with irregular watering and low light conditions. Some plants can grow vines around 10 feet long.

#14. Christmas Cactus

You can keep the Christmas cactus growing year-round. It produces red, white, pink or purple flowers you’ll love to see in any space.

#15. Begonia

Begonia plants require less water in winter than they do in summer (even indoors), and they’re available in a huge range of colors and patterns.
