Keeping a house plant alive can test even the most experienced green thumb. Most of us struggle with watering on a regular basis, but you can also kill a plant with too much water.
If you’re the type of plant owner who falls into the second category, take a look at this list. For these plants, overwatering is rarely a problem.
Just remember
It’s important that all plants have good drainage, so ensure you have well-draining potting mixture and drainage holes in your pot.
1. Boston fern
One of the most low-maintenance ferns, the Boston fern is easy to grow. Just make sure the roots never dry out.
2. Baby’s Tears
Popular in terrariums, this plant can’t get enough moisture. Keep the soil consistently and evenly damp.
3. Pitcher plant
This carnivorous plant usually grows in bogs, so you need to keep the roots wet. The only thing to keep in mind is that this plant needs either distilled water or rainwater to thrive.
4. Selaginella
Another popular terrarium plant, this pretty plant is often used as ground cover. However, it also works well in hanging baskets. Keep it happy with regular misting.
5. Cyperus
This swamp-dwelling plant is impossible to overwater. Keep them in water or mist daily.
