10 Indoor Plants That Are Impossible to Kill

Having a plant in your place will really class up the joint. They look nice, and they make you look like you’re connected with nature or something because, hey, you can keep a plant alive. If you pick the right plant, that job isn’t actually all that difficult. Try to give them as much direct sunlight as possible, water them as needed, and you should see them live long and look good doing it.

Of all the plants on this list, this one requires the most watering--about twice as much water as most of them. It’s still not that hard to care for, though, and it looks awesome.

They’re like spikier, smaller, slower growing palm trees.

Be careful, though, these plants are poisonous to cats and dogs.

Some believe this plant brings good luck, so having it couldn’t hurt. Plus, if the plants are taken care of, they can live over 100 years.
