Preferring filtered light near windows, this plant should be kept moist but not waterlogged.

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

An easy-to-care-for plant, the Pothos improves mood and the indoor environment. It grows well in low to bright indirect light and should be watered when the soil feels dry.

Native to South Africa, Lithops, also known as "living stones," are small succulents that make a perfect choice for indoor spaces due to their small size. They thrive in a sunny location and well-drained soil.
