Are you discouraged after killing plant after plant? Or do you just want an easy plant to take care of? Here are six easy and unique plants that even the worst of plant killers can keep alive and healthy!
1. Banana Plants
These plants are fast-growing and very satisfying to watch put out new leaves. During peak growth, a banana tree will get one new leaf a week! Banana trees will tolerate a variety of light conditions. As long as you keep them watered, they will look beautiful! There are many different varieties of houseplant banana trees including Ornamental Banana Tree, Little Prince Banana Trees, and Musa Banana Trees.

2. Water Plants
Water plants are an awesome option for plant killers that still want a little green. You never have to water them, or do anything to them once you have them planted! These little guys also don't need any soil, just some rocks to hold them down. The best thing, you can get them for cheap. The best place to find water plants is at a pet store. There are a bunch of options for aquarium plants that you can buy, and you don't have to put them in an actual aquarium.

Okay, so you have probably heard this one before... BUT cactus can be really rewarding to grow. Besides being nearly impossible to kill, they will get flowers in the winter! Cactus are drought tolerant so it is okay if you forget to water. Just leave the cactus in a windowsill and it will do just fine!
