7. ZZ plant

Have you ever heard about these beauties? The ZZ plant usually grows pretty tall but is also slender, and the good news is that it is indestructible. Despite the fact that they love sunlight and warmth, they can also tolerate low light very well, so they can be a perfect choice for a small office or a room with small windows.

There will be no problem if you forget to water it because, believe it or not, the ZZ plants can live up to 2 weeks without watering if their soil is quite moist. But one thing is for sure: always water your plant in the morning when the sun is less potent, and avoid at all costs watering it around noon or at night.

If you notice its leaves are scorched, burned, or twisted, then there’s something wrong with your plant. Check if it’s because it’s thirsty or if there’s another issue.
