Indoor plants can become a huge benefit in many ways. Not only are they a quick, easy and effective way of decorating your house, they also clean the environment around them. There are many choices when it comes to indoor plants, however you need to do some research if you have children or pets in your home as some indoor plants can be toxic for them. That is why we have compiled our list of top picks of plants that are not only easy to care for but are also from the non toxic category when it comes to indoor plants. Most indoor plants are super easy to care for and while no plant is “indestructible”, you can improve your chances by taking a look at our list below before you run out and start shopping.

Wandering Dew (Tradescantia)

The wandering dew is probably the easiest plant to take care of indoors. The only maintenance it needs it to be regularly trimmed as it sprouts fast. The only thing to be cautious of is where you put your clippings though as this plant will take root and sprout anywhere and once it takes root will grow uncontrollably.

3. Christmas Cactus

These are probably the most beautiful indoor plants that we will be listing in this blog. Like many other succulents these plants can be grown from a stem cutting and they look absolutely stunning in your home. Although, they don’t do too well in heat and drought conditions so they need to be kept in the shade and watered frequently.
