There are a plethora of advantages to keeping plants in your home or office. However, if you’re anything like me, you struggle endlessly with trying to keep them alive. I might get into a steady routine of tending to my houseplants every day, but the one or two waterings I miss because life happens to get in the way always seem to damage them beyond any hope of revival.

Luckily for those of us who were not blessed with green thumbs, there are several low-maintenance, near-impossible-to-kill plant species out there with amazing health benefits!
