These cactus-like plants can help treat sunburns, are used for skincare, and have lots of other uses.

Peace lilies are a perfect plant to add a bit more colour to your rooms. With their white top leaves and deep green canopy, peace lilies are sure to improve any room, while being one of the easiest plants to take care of. Like most house plants, make sure you don't overwater them, and keep them out of direct sunlight. 

 

Spider Plant

Spider plants are considered to be one of the hardiest and easiest plants to grow in any living space. These versatile plants help purify the air in your house, while making any space look nicer with their long draping leaves. To care for them, you want to make sure that the soil is mostly dry, and that you aren't over watering your spider plant. 

 

Arrowhead 

With their deep green canopy-like leaves, arrowhead plants are one of the most exotic looking house plants that you can grow in your apartment. These plants are not only nice to look at, they're very easy to care for. Make sure they are out of direct sunlight, and use a spray bottle on the mist setting to water them. Keep your apartment between 60-75° F, and let the plant dry out between waterings for best results.
