The Fiddle Leaf Fig is quite a trendy plant at the moment, you can't open a interior decor magazine without seeing at least one of these beautiful plants in some hip urban lounge room. I absolutely love the look of the FLF and I currently have 2 in my house! They can be a little temperamental to look after - so do your research before investing. I have found that my plants have excelled with a weekly watering (1 cup every sunday at 10am - I even have an alarm set!) producing lots of new leaves since I have put them on this routine.

Golden Pothos aka Devils Ivy (Epipremnum Aureum)

The Golden Pothos has been around for decades - I remember my parents had one in our bathroom in a hanging pot from the ceiling. I currently have 2 of these as well - even though I shouldn't. Golden Pothos are highly poisonous to cats and dogs. But I have mine in copper geometric hanging baskets from k-mart so that my furry friends cant reach them. They enjoy a filtered light to low light conditions and can be grown in soil or even just in water.

Succulents

Relatively hard to kill and super low maintenance, just about anybody can grow a succulent. If you have time, you can pinch a few leaves off different succulents and grow them from the leaf. I have quite a few different varieties around my house in various 'pots' - old tea cups, old coffee tins etc. They only need a spray or two once a week in summer and even less in winter.

Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)

A beautiful green leaf plant that requires low light conditions and watering once a week. It produces white flowers semi-frequently. It placed too close to sunlight the leaves curl up and dry quite easily. It is also slightly poisonous to cat/dogs and humans if ingested.
