“What are some of your fav green gurls for beginner plant parents?!” This is one of the most common questions that pops up in my DMs and is one I enjoy the most dahling, so let’s get into three of my favs: The Pothos (aka Epipremnum aureum), native to China, the Indian subcontinent, Australia, New Guinea, Southeast Asia, and various islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans with over fifty varieties, the pothos ivy is a tropical kween that is near and dear to my heart. These climbing vines enjoy bright ambient light, but can survive in lower light conditions as well. Watering this plant is pretty easy as well, once a week during warmer months and every two weeks during colder months The ZZ Plant (aka Zamioculcas zamiifolia), native to eastern Africa, from southern Kenya to northeastern South Africa, this now popular indoor tropical kween was probably not known to anyone outside the continent of Africa before 1996. These hearty kweens’ leaves are jam packed with chlorophyll which makes them very light flexible, thriving in brighter light conditions but also tolerant of lower light conditions. ZZ plants grow from large, thick rhizomes that resemble potatoes. Rhizomes are subterranean plant stems that are often thickened by deposits of reserve food material. In short, these rhizomes store water, which is why this green gurl does well during droughts and in the houses of plant parents on the go, who occasionally forget to water their green gurl The Snake Plant (aka Dracaena trifasciata), native to parts of Africa, Madagascar, and southern Asia with over seventy different fabulous varieties, this kween can grow anywhere from 8 inches to 12 feet high in their natural habitat. While these kweens can be quite adaptable to a myriad of lighting situations, I find that they thrive in bright, ambient light with some direct sun. You do not have to water this plant often ... every two weeks in the warmer months and every 3-4 weeks during the colder months. Snake plants also absorb excessive amounts of carbon monoxide, emit oxygen, and filter other toxins released into the air from common household products #myreellifestyle
