Fiddle Leaf Fig

The fiddle leaf fig is one of the easiest houseplants anyone can buy. It's extremely resilient and can take some neglect if you forget it every once in a while, but, of course, you should aim to keep to a schedule. Ideally, a fiddle leaf fig should be watered once a week and be given a bright home but still a little shaded. If you give it all that, you should be rewarded with a happy and healthy plant.

You should have a constant supply of beautiful leaves if you care for it this way, but just remember to allow the soil to dry out before watering to avoid waterlogging and root rot.

Albuca Frizzle Sizzle

And the award for the coolest houseplant name goes to the Albuca fizzle sizzle! This houseplant is just as unique as its name, and while many people don't know too much about it, you might be interested to know that it's perfect for beginners. All you need to do to keep this plant happy and healthy is water it when the soil is dry and keep it in the sunlight.

Plus, one of the things we love most about this easy houseplant is the fact that it actually smells like vanilla. This makes it a great and welcome addition to any home.

Peace Lily

With its long stems and delicate white flowers, the peace lily is one of the most majestic houseplants on this list. But while you may assume that it requires a lot of TLC, that's a common misconception. To keep the peace lily in tip-top condition, you just need to make sure that you water it once a week and keep it primarily in the shade. However, it does like a little bit of sunlight if it can get it.

Although the peace lily is one of the easiest houseplants you can buy, you need to be careful if you have a cat in the house as they are toxic to cats.

Red Edged Dragon Tree

If you're someone who struggles to maintain a watering schedule for your houseplants, the red edged dragon tree is for you. It's incredibly drought-tolerant, so it can go without water for a couple of weeks. However, if you want to maintain its red color and its vibrancy, it's a good idea to give it a spray of water twice a week and keep it in a bright yet slightly shaded location.

However, you should be careful if you have pets and choose to add this easy houseplant to your home. Although it looks beautiful, this houseplant can be deadly to animals.

Aloe Polyphylla

This plant is also called the spiral aloe - and you probably don't need us to tell you why. The spiral pattern of this aloe vera plant is unlike anything we've ever seen. And while it looks extremely high maintenance, the aloe polyphylla is suitable for beginners and novices alike. In the winter, you only need to water it once every 1-2 weeks. In the summer, it'll need a bit more.

As you can imagine from a desert plant, this houseplant also thrives in the sunlight. So, you'll be able to keep it happy and healthy if you give it a sunny place to live.

Christmas Cactus

As suggested by the name, the Christmas cactus is particularly popular during the festive period thanks to its red leaves and its unusual look. But you can still look after this houseplant year-round. As these plants are native to the mountains of Brazil, they prefer damp environments and shade - but that doesn't mean that you have to water them often. In fact, you only need to water them once ever 2-3 weeks.

You should stick to this sparse watering schedule, too, as the Christmas cactus can die when it's overwatered or given too much sunlight. So, keep it out of the way of windows.

Aglaonema Chinese Evergreen

The Aglaonema Chinese Evergreen is one of the easiest houseplants for those who can't quite get on the same page as their plant's watering schedule. It can deal with both overwatering and underwatering, but in an ideal world, you'll just water this houseplant when the soil is dry and it looks like it needs a drink. Of course, you should also try and keep it out of direct sunlight if you can.

As these plants also love humidity, you could also give them a little spritz of water in-between waterings if you're feeling generous. But they won't die if you forget to do it.
