Hard-to-Kill & Low-Water Plants

Every plant here is fine being watered every two to three weeks, which makes this the collection for travelers, forgetters, and anyone who has accidentally killed a plant before.

These are drought tolerant houseplants that store water in their leaves, stems, or roots and genuinely prefer to dry out between drinks. The ZZ Plant and Snake Plant 'Laurentii' are the classics for a reason: both will forgive a missed week or two without drama. Pothos goes a step further and tells you when it's thirsty by drooping, then bounces right back after a drink. One honest note: the fastest way to lose these plants is overwatering, so when in doubt, wait another day.

Most plants here are under $35, and every one ships with a care card so you're never guessing.
