From Monstera to Boston fern, here are 10 popular plants you can grow indoors. They’ll not only enhance your home decor but also make your followers admire you. Let’s dive in and explore their unique charm!

1. Monstera (Swiss Cheese Plant)

As one of the most popular plants on Instagram, the Monstera or Swiss cheese plant stands out for its amazing giant leaves with deep lobes and even holes. It’s no surprise that Monstera is a statement piece for your home and, of course, your pictures.

Beyond its unforgettable size, Monstera is nearly fuss-free and easy to grow. This means you don’t have to spend too much time on it. Plus, you can place these plants everywhere, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and home entrances. They’re excellent home dividers and natural air purifiers. 

To further enhance Monstera’s charm, you can make unique fabric planters in burlap, denim, or jute. These fabric planters will definitely take your pictures to a new level.

2. Succulents

If you often browse plants or gardening on Instagram, you can always see succulents. These petit plants are pretty easy to grow indoors. Just give them sufficient sunlight and a dry soil mix.

Succulents like echeveria are stunning additions to your photo setting. They grow in a rosette shape with compact and fleshy leaves. Instead of standard green, their leaves are gray-green and sometimes have a hint of rosy pink at the top. Beyond normal pots, you can even grow them in the hanging planters to save space.

3. Chinese Money Plant (Pilea Peperomioides)

Chinese money plant, also called Pilea Peperomioides, is a classic and popular houseplant. It’s beloved by hundreds of Instagram influencers.

Easy to care for, this plant only needs bright sunlight (but not direct sunlight), well-drained soil, and regular fertilizer. It grows up with round and shiny leaves which look stunning in your pictures. Plus, you can even propagate this plant using its offshoots, cuttings from the main stem, or leaf cutting. This way, you can share the plant love with your friends or followers.  

 

4. Devil’s Ivy (Golden Pothos)

Beyond the Chinese money plant, another excellent houseplant is Devil’s Ivy. If it’s the first time you heard about this name, you must be curious about how it came about. Actually, the answer is obvious that this trailing plant is very difficult to kill. It’ll thrive quickly with just some light and moist soil. Plus, it does brilliantly in purifying the air, so you can hang it anywhere at home.

5. Cactus

Cactuses are always perfect indoor plants for your house, as long as you keep them away from small kids or pets.

There is a wide variety of cactus you can choose from, such as Cereus Hildmannianus, Rattail cactuses, bunny ears cactuses, and barrel cactuses. With the right growing conditions, these cactuses will bloom beautiful flowers, which will stand out in your photos.

6. Variegated String of Hearts (Ceropegia)

Now, let’s turn to the String of Hearts, a fabulous plant with a fairytale beauty. This romantic name obviously comes from its heart-shaped leaves, which instantly catch the followers’ eye. The leaf colors are equally captivating. Most of them are green, but some come in a little pink or purple on the edge of the leaves. These features make the String of Hearts perfect for Instagram feeds.

With not too much heat and regular watering, this plant will accompany you for years.

    

7. String of Pearls 

Among today’s 10 indoor plants, the foliage of the String of Pearls is the most unique. You can simply learn this from the name. Similar to green pearls, the leaves are nearly perfectly round and fleshy.

It’s best to grow this plant in hanging pots or baskets, so you can show off the strings of pearls naturally and beautifully. What makes this plant more impressive? It requires minimal light, average indoor temperature, and occasional watering! 

8. False Shamrock (Oxalis Triangularis)

If you’ve ever seen the plant before, you’ll know why it’s such a popularity among Instagram influencers. False Shamrock, also known as Oxalis Triangularis, has impressive dark purple leaves and elegant violet flowers. If you just need pops of color for your photos, don’t miss False Shamrock! With bright indirect light and not too much water, this plant will definitely become a statement piece in your house.   

9. Rubber Plants (Ficus)

Like the Monstera, the rubber plant can also thrive in any room in your house. At first glance, this plant may look quite ordinary, but it still gains a lot of popularity on Instagram. For new gardeners, this plant is perfect since it’s very easy to care for. Just give it sufficient bright indirect sunlight, water it regularly, and wipe the leaves frequently. 

10. Boston Fern

The last indoor plant I recommend is Boston fern, which will instantly add a tropical feel to your house. This plant thrives anywhere in your house, mostly in your bathroom, as it prefers a cool and damp environment. If you’re going to place it in other rooms, just water daily to keep the soil damp.
