1. Colorful mini succulents
Frugal mini succulents are ideal for small apartments in particular.
Particularly colorful or patterned varieties such as Drimiopsis maculata and the pink and white Ledebouria socialis are becoming increasingly popular.
They are very suitable for beginners, as you can easily forget to water them.
2. The climbing philodendron 'Brasil' (Philodendron hederaceum 'Brasil')
The Philodendron "Brasil" with its yellow-green patterned leaves owes its name to the colors of the Brazilian national flag.
The plant grows luxuriantly and is a good choice for anyone who loves a splash of color among their houseplants.
In terms of care, it is quite undemanding and only needs bright, indirect light and regular water.
She is particularly happy about high humidity.

The white knight philodendron is a rather rare houseplant.
But it has the potential to be a star and is a wonderful counterpart to the Philodendron Pink Princess.
If the location is bright, it will continue to reward even novice planters with magnificently variegated leaves.
The soil should remain evenly moist.
4. The Lance-leaved Coriander (Goeppertia insignis)
This calathea is also known as the rattlesnake plant for its distinctive reptile-like leaves.
Its leaves fold up at night and show a rich burgundy red on the underside of the leaves.
If you water it properly and choose the right location, it will also thrive.
