ZZ Plant

Known for surviving almost any weather or thermostat setting, ZZ plants are able to thrive with minimal natural light and require very little water. The ZZ plant should only be watered once the soil in its pot has completely dried, not only making it a good wintertime plant, but also making it a good houseplant for those who don’t have the greenest thumb.

Chinese Evergreen

Chinese evergreen, also known as aglaonema, is a plant with large green leaves. The plant’s color stays bright even with low light. Though if you place a Chinese evergreen in a room with little natural light, make sure to avoid overwatering and keep it near a lamp to mimic sunlight.
