Tropical plants are just perfect for on-the-go homeowners who appreciate the beauty and benefit of houseplants but don’t always remember to water them. These five plants were put to the test and survived in a dark closet for THREE weeks!
Whether you are new to the world of houseplants or are looking for an ultra easy-care plant to add life and a dynamic vibe to a forlorn room, here are five houseplants that are among the easiest of all tropicals to grow.
Our friends at Costa Farms, a wholesale grower of plants, dug into the science of tough plants. They devised a study to find the toughest of the tough indoor plants. The chief challenge for plants was a three-week stint in a lightless closet without supplemental watering. To receive a commendable rating the plant not only had to look magnificent upon retrieval from the closet, but it also had to maintain its good looks for months beyond. In short, the plant had to endure three-week closet vacation and remain in great form.
Five houseplants met the criteria outlined in the study. These tough plants don’t mind low light (or long periods of no light!). Low humidity doesn’t pose a problem for them and they are exceedingly forgiving when you forget to water them. They are perfect plants for houseplant newbies and busy folks who love tropicals.
Grasslike leaves atop a bare stem give ponytail palm delightfully dramatic and contemporary appearance. Very slow-growing, this plant is perfect for tabletops. It thrives in medium light and stores water in its thick trunk. Ponytail palm can survive for extended periods without water.
Feathery, dark green leaves on top of a short stem give sago palm a texture-rich appearance. Often wider than it is tall, sago palm has a pronounced tropical appearance and is at home in all kinds of design styles thanks to its bevy of texture. Grow it in bright to low light and water it only when the top of the soil is dry to the touch, as it doesn’t tolerate wet soil.
The dark green, glossy leaves of ZZ plant make some people mistake it for a plastic plant. The waxy leaves are not only part of the plant’s beauty, but they also contribute to its ease of growing. The leaves seal in moisture, making ZZ plant tolerant of dry conditions. Grow it in bright to low light and water it when the top of the soil is dry. ZZ plant is one of a few plants that doesn’t need natural light—it’ll thrive just fine under fluorescent lights. Do you have an interior office? ZZ plant is perfect for you.

Some homes are being built so that multiple generations can live under one roof. The homes offer two private entrances for privacy.
AUSTIN, Texas — Multiple generations living under one roof – it’s a growing trend seen across the country that homebuilder Lennar is now accommodating for.
It’s almost like getting two homes for the price of one.
Lennar calls it a home within a home and the goal is to give whoever’s living there the privacy and independence they need. Many of their buyers are wanting to use the extra space to keep their aging parents close by.
“It does offer something that no other home offers,” said Travis Yamashita, who bought a Next Gen®
Travis Yamashita and his wife were thinking years ahead when they bought their home in Round Rock.
“When my in-laws get to the point where they need care, this is probably where they will come,” said Yamashita.
He’s not talking about this side of the home they’re sitting in, he’s talking about the other one – the one that has its own private entrance. It’s part of a next-gen community and Lennar is the builder behind it.
KVUE took a tour of one of the model properties to get a better look. In addition to two private entrances, the separate 600 square foot space comes with its own living room, kitchen, washer and dryer, bathroom and bedroom. The rest of the family is only a room away and that’s something that led Yamashita to buy the home, with his aging parents in mind.
“Just knowing that they can come stay with us versus going to stay at a care home – it’s priceless,” said Yamashita.”
“One in five American families now have multiple generations living under one roof,” said Charlie Coleman with Lennar.
Coleman said the company noticed this trend back in 2011 and decided to build to it.
“As we’re getting older it creates a lot of needs and assisted living,” said Coleman. “Assisted living can be very expensive.”
For some families, this home with a home is a more affordable option that also comes with added benefits.
“You know built-in babysitters sometimes and just having [our parents] get to know their grandkids more,” said Yamashita.
Studies show people are living longer than ever. A spokesperson for Lennar said they built about 20 of these homes in the Austin area last year and they expect that number to continue to grow. The starting price in Austin is just under $400,000.
This space isn’t just for aging parents. It’s also for adults who have special needs and for adult children who come back from college, but aren’t quite ready financially to buy or rent their own space.
