The evergreen aloe vera plant comes first on our list. This succulent native to the African continent is as popular as they come. Its growing popularity can be attributed to its versatility and the benefits it offers.

Aloe vera are herbaceous perennials. They are easy-care plants that contain a gel-like substance that is used to soothe a variety of skin irritations.

To get the plants fully established for independent growth, place them where they can get sufficient air and see that they are constantly watered. Although, you have to ensure that they stay well drained after being watered, as soggy soil might lead to root rot.

With this primary care given to the plant, you can have it grow as tall as 3ft.

Ever heard of Christmas kalanchoe? It is another word used to describe this stunning plant that originates from Madagascar.

The perennial succulent is cherished mainly because of the radiance the flowers provide, especially in the winter season when they bloom.

Establishing them for a life of Independence entails exposing the plants to bright but indirect sunlight, monthly application of a balanced fertilizer in spring and summer, and constant but systematic watering, giving the soil time to dry out before the next.

The height range of this plant is 6-18inches.

Best care practices for this plant include avoiding soggy soil and direct light.

Kentia Palm will grow up to 3m tall and, thankfully, do not take up a lot of ground space.

Final Note

So, whether you are a novice at growing plants or simply too busy to dot on them, these are significant options that you can choose from to enjoy the best of both worlds - a touch of vibrancy and a feel of nature in the home plus, time - off from constantly caring for them.
