Care Tip: Keep the soil slightly moist and enjoy its ability to thrive in a variety of light conditions.
3. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)

Care Tip: Water once a week and place it in bright, indirect sunlight.
4. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
Why It’s Great: With lush green leaves and delicate white flowers, peace lilies are stunning additions to any room. They’re also great for improving indoor air quality.
