9 easy-to-care-for plants in Singapore

Green fingers aren’t needed to keep these plants alive

by Kathleen Siddell  /   February 17, 2020

Blame it on frequent travel. Blame it on the climate. Blame it on the kids, the husband, the helper or the plants themselves — they can be so fickle, requiring such delicate care.

Or, maybe it’s simply time to accept you don’t have a green thumb. Here are 9 hearty plants that will thrive with very little attention, especially in Singapore’s tropical weather.

9 easy-to-care-for plants in Singapore
Orchid

Aside from having one of the most glamorous flowers around, orchids are easy to grow and need only two or three tablespoons of water every two weeks.

Swiss Cheese Plant
image

If you prefer big, lush leaves, this evergreen plant is a great option as it can grow virtually anywhere indoors, even in more shady spots of your home. Also known as the monstera adonsonii, it just needs watering once a week!

Peace Lily

Spathiphyllum likes to be kept in a well-lit spot out of direct sunlight. Give it a weekly watering, plus a spritz in between.

Dracaena
image

This is probably one of the easiest plants to care for. Just ensure soil dries out completely between waterings, and choose a position in bright filtered light.

Succulents
image

Plants that grow in dry, arid climates that are nearly uninhabitable? Succulents are as easy as can be. You can find them in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colours and their spiky leaves will instantly add a sense of funky hipness to your digs.

Snake Plant
image

Otherwise known as sansvieria trifasciata, or mother-in-law’s tongue, this one’s super easy to look after, and only needs one spray of water a week. It prefers bright light, but is also tolerant of warm shady spots. Group this with other plants!

Aloe vera
image

This plant only needs watering when its soil is completely dry, and in Singapore’s humid weather, that means once every three weeks. You do your thing while aloe vera does its thing.

Guzmania Bromeliad
image

If you’re after a flowering plant without the high maintenance, this is the one for you. Keep it in a shady spot and water it once a week. Too easy!

Zanzibar Gem
image

These plants with their shiny waxy leaves are called gems for a reason – they’re practically indestructible! They’re also known as ZZ plants or welcome plants. Be careful of giving them too much water – once a fortnight is enough.
