Living in a rental home has some limitations of what you can do to make the house look like you want. You can always consider making small changes that don’t require a significant financial investment, and you’ll feel at home after. Having this feeling and being comfortable is really important when moving to a new place, after all, the lease’s contract generally lasts only one year.
To add more life to your home, there’s nothing better than using plants to decorate. However, the truth is — most people are not experts when it comes to plants — people just go to the closest plant store and choose what they think is beautiful, or even receive some as a gift, falling into plant parenthood without knowledge.
Let’s start with the steps you should take before buying plants. First of all, evaluate the spaces you have in your home to place the plants. Remember that you have to think about how much natural light your home receives during the day, because some plant species need more light than others. For example, if you want to place a plant on a windowsill, consider choosing ones that thrive in dry and sunny conditions like the popular succulents.

This plant has this cool name because of its shape looks like a snake. The good news here is that it’s a low-maintenance plant and can live in any environment. However, it isn’t pet-friendly!
2. Aloe Vera Plant
This plant is not easy to take care of, but it has many good anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, so you can use it to brighten up your home and for medical purposes, like healing a small cut, just make sure to use it in the correct way. This is also not pet-friendly.
