7 Houseplants Even Trendier Than the Fiddle Leaf Fig

For a trendy, tropical look, try the split leaf philodendron (Monstera deliciosa). This plant is easy to care for — it prefers medium light and moderate watering.

The rubber tree plant (Ficus elastica) is fairly easy to care for, and its shiny green leaves make it particularly beautiful. It prefers indirect light that isn't too hot. Try placing it near a window with a sheer curtain to help filter the harsh sunlight.

If you need to add some greenery to a room with no windows, get a ZZ plant. These plants do great in low light and really don't need much attention at all. Water it only when the soil has completely dried out.

The money tree (Pachira aquatica) has beautiful foliage and usually a pretty braided trunk. It likes lots of sun and lots of water. Water the money tree deeply, until water runs out the drainage holes, but allow one to two inches to dry before watering again.

The yucca elephantipes is an indoor tropical plant with a striking silhouette that works well with modern decor. It prefers high light, so place it near a window and water it when one-fourth or one-third of the soil has dried out.

The snake plant is the perfect choice for black thumbs. These hardy plants can be grown pretty much anywhere. The straight architectural leaves make it a great addition to modern decor. It grows well in both low and bright light and only needs to be watered when the top inch or so of the soil dries.
