If you haven’t quite developed a green thumb yet, start with a paddle plant. They look great, with large, round leaves that have pink tips. What’s more, they don’t demand much water, so you don’t have to worry about remembering to give them a drink. Or, if you like a more tropical style, introduce a lady palm to your living room. It only needs indirect sunlight, so there’s no need to rearrange furniture in order to place it next to a window.
