đŸŒŸ During the lockdown, I found a new passion: becoming a certified Plantito! đŸŞ´ In this blog, I’m thrilled to share my indoor plant journey as I transform my small condo unit into a lush, green oasis. I’ll introduce you to my newly purchased plants, including the low-maintenance ZZ Plant, stylish Snake Plant, and the ever-beautiful Peace Lily—perfect for small apartments like mine. Join me as I talk about how I chose these plants, why they’re ideal for indoor spaces, and tips for keeping them happy and healthy. đŸŽĽ WATCH THE VLOG:
The Ever-Reliable ZZ Plant
The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is a superstar in the world of indoor gardening. Known for its glossy, waxy leaves and near-indestructible nature, this plant is perfect for first-time plant parents or anyone living in a small condo. It thrives on neglect and can survive in low light and even drought-like conditions. This makes it a no-brainer for busy people or those who aren’t exactly green thumbs. With minimal watering (about once every two weeks), the ZZ Plant adds a modern, vibrant look to any corner of your space while purifying the air.
The Beauty of Peace Lily
The Peace Lily is not just a plant—it’s a statement piece. Its dark green foliage and elegant white flowers bring a touch of sophistication to any room. What I love about the Peace Lily is its ability to thrive in indirect light, making it ideal for smaller spaces with limited natural sunlight. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it’s a natural air purifier, removing toxins like ammonia and benzene from the air. However, it does require regular watering to keep those lush leaves hydrated. Pro tip: When the leaves droop slightly, it’s the plant’s way of telling you it’s thirsty!
đŸŒŸ The Stylish Snake Plant
The Snake Plant, also known as Sansevieria or Mother-in-Law's Tongue, is another favorite addition to my growing indoor jungle. This plant is not only strikingly beautiful with its upright, sword-like leaves, but it’s also one of the easiest plants to care for. Snake Plants thrive in low light conditions and require minimal watering, making them perfect for busy individuals or plant beginners. What’s more, they are excellent air purifiers, known to filter toxins and improve air quality. I love how they add a modern, sleek vibe to my condo’s interior, while also helping me breathe cleaner air. It’s the ultimate low-maintenance plant with maximum impact!

Urban gardening has become my new way of connecting with nature, even in a bustling city. With every plant I bring home, I learn something new—whether it’s understanding light requirements, experimenting with soil mixes, or simply finding joy in watching them grow.
