Potted bamboo is another amazing option. The fine colors and textures add a calming presence to any indoor space. Perfect for your windowsill, as bamboo loves the sunlight. This is also a great plant for many, especially if you are guilty for over-watering your plants, as bamboo loves moist soil and will even tolerate some standing water.

GIFT 4: Air plants

Tillandsia and other air plants require very little maintenance to care for since they can grow virtually anywhere. With a slight mist a few times a week, these plants will keep you happy for a long time!
