Not all plants need frequent watering and constant attention.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh listed options that are suitable for lazy gardeners.

Haworthia

Haworthia leaves are able to retain moisture, so the flower can be watered only once a month (this recommendation is relevant for the cool period).

Chlorophytum

You can moisten the soil in a pot with chlorophytum in winter when it dries out to a quarter of its depth. As you understand, this does not happen often.

Crassula

Since the wild conditions for the fat woman are arid and tropical climate, excess moisture in the soil is detrimental to the plant in indoor conditions. In summer, the money tree needs to be watered once a week, and in winter, it is worth giving up on moistening altogether.

Rubber plant

Experienced gardeners recommend watering the soil in the pot where the ficus grows once a week, starting in the spring, and even less often during the dormant period, since an excess of water is fraught with “leaf fall”, due to which the plant will lose its decorative appearance.

Spathiphyllum

The undemanding flower needs abundant watering only in the summer, and then only after the soil has dried to a depth of 1.5 cm. In winter, it is enough to occasionally moisten the soil so that it does not harden.
