5 Plants That Will Thrive in Your Kitchen

You adorn your bedroom, living room, and entryway with plants to create a bright, leafy, and welcoming environment. But what about the heart of your home, the kitchen? The right plant can help purify the air, create the perfect ambiance, or even provide fresh produce and herbs year-round. With so many houseplants, you might wonder where you should start. Allow us to guide you to five plants that will thrive in your kitchen:

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

If you don’t have a grasp on your green thumb yet, you can’t go wrong with a Pothos plant! They are truly some of the easiest houseplants to care for. Very adaptable, a variety of light conditions and watering patterns will suffice. PLUS, they make excellent hanging plants!

Herbs

The greenery looks great and is also functional. Sign us up! There is truly nothing better than cooking with fresh, home-grown herbs! The only important note is that your kitchen will need to receive lots of light for your herbs to grow without issue. Start our with easy herb varieties such as chives, parsley, mint, thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano, and cilantro.

Succulents

This low-maintenance plant is great if you're a busy person! ‘Succulent’ is a term for plants that store water within their leaves and/or stems, so these are drought-resistant. There are tons of different varieties of succulents so pick and choose your favorites!

Snake plants (Sansevieria)

Snake plants, also known as "mother-in-law's tongues," are one of the most popular household plants. These plants thrive in lighting conditions anywhere from bright to low light and are fairly low maintenance!

Spider Plant (Chlorophytum)

Spider plants are another easy-to-care-for houseplant. They look great sitting on a shelf or counter and look even better hanging! One thing to note is that you should avoid placing these plants in direct sunlight because the leaves tend to burn.

Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just starting your green journey, these kitchen-friendly plants are sure to bring life, freshness, and a dash of botanical joy to your cooking haven.
