Houseplants for the Forgetful Gardener

Would you like some indoor greenery, but worried you'll forget to water a houseplant? There are several plants that are extremely easy to care for, for both low light and brightly lit areas of your home. Pothos, cast iron plants, and spider plants are excellent low-maintenance choices for low-light areas. Or try an aloe, ponytail palm, or Christmas cactus for sunnier spaces. None of these plants require much in the way of water or attention.

Pothos 'Pearls and Jade', a cultivar developed at the University of Florida
