9 Indoor Plants Nearly Impossible to Keep Alive

6. Zebra Plant

The Zebra plant is not for you unless you wish to maintain a constant temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit in your home all year. Certainly, it looks amazing, but you have to actually take care of it if you want to keep it alive by making sure it gets the right amount of humidity and sunlight. I used to have a zebra plant a couple of years ago, but because my walls developed mold from the humidity, I gave it away.

Furthermore, if you still want to keep these plants in your apartment, be aware that they need water every one to two days whenever the soil gets dry.
