Easy plants to surround yourself with (in your home office) #1

The covid pandemic has affected us all in many ways, shapes and forms... one that I was not expecting however was to unearth a passion for plant cultivation at home. That being said, I now find myself the proud father of 5 little offspring that bring life to my otherwise baron home office. 

Although cacti and succulents are still a go-to option for a headache-free greening of your work space, you can easily introduce leafy green plants at your desk, given that you choose among those which don't require a lot of maintenance. The selection of plants below can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and light conditions, and, most of them even thrive in dry soil, which means less frequent watering. So, with that in mind, here is the first of five easy plants that have allowed me to bring the outdoors in.

1. MONSTERA DELICIOSA (SWISS CHEESE PLANT)

If looking after plants isn't your forte, the Swiss cheese plant is one for you. The Independent explains there's a good chance you will be able to keep this plant alive, no matter how busy or forgetful you are. It only needs watering every two weeks or so, and they can live happily in pots or hanging planters. They're growing fast, too, so you need to make sure that you use a pot or planter with plenty of space. They're also known to have good air cleaning properties.
