I am a plant murderer. I don’t mean to be, it just happens. The light is weird in our house, and I tend to either underwater or overwater. So I’ve brought in the experts for today’s Friday Five by bringing in the expert team at Urban Planting Cleveland, with 5 recommendations for plants that are hard to kill!

ZZ plant- lighting anywhere from low to bright indirect light. Water thoroughly about once a month. I’ve had one of these for several years now, and it’s still alive!!!!

"Zenzi" and ZZ make for a great pair! These along with many others in stock this cold snowy Saturday. Warm up with some tropical plants! . . . . . . . #urbanplantingcleveland #urbanplanting #clevelandplantshop #clevelandplants #cleveland #clevelandvibes #plantsforeveryone #houseplants #zzplant #zz #zenzi #tropicalplants #foliage #plantshop #terracotta #plantlife #plantaddict #visitmeincle #clevelandliving #ohio

2. Sansevieria (they have many different varieties)- lighting anywhere from low to bright indirect light. Water thoroughly about once a month.

So many different types of sansevieria out there it's hard to pick a favorite! We can say that sayuri (aka metallica or Siam silver) is up there on our list. What's your favorite? . . . . . . . #UrbanPlantingCleveland #urbanplanting #clevelandplantshop #plantsforeveryone #clevelandplants #cleveland #clevelandvibes #clevelandplantstylist #plantdesign #sansevieriasunday #sansevieria #snakeplant #sayuri #sansevieriametallica #snakeplants #houseplants #houseplantcommunity #houseplantjournal #plantaddict #tropicalplants #plantlife #greenliving #tropical #sundayfunday #greenplants #plantshop #plantshopping #smallbusiness #shoplife

3. Cacti (generally speaking)- are the easiest plants to care for IF you have bright lighting. Very bright light and water only once a month or so. The team at Urban plants tells people to pretend it’s a desert.

4. Bamboo stem- can be kept in water with rocks etc. to stabilize. Do not require much light and can be kept in a dish with water. (Full disclosure, I’ve accidentally killed these before. It was in a vase, and I just…forgot)

5. Dracaena (also many different varieties) - can grow as taller trees or bushes. Only require medium light and water every 1-2 weeks (sometimes longer)
