Plants brighten our spaces, clean our air and lift our spirits. And now that you can order (real!) houseplants on Amazon, it’s easier than ever to reap the benefits of natural greenery.

We know, we know: You can’t seem to keep plants alive—neither can we. So dug around to find the hardest-to-kill plants with glowing reviews and the highest ratings on qualities like overall beauty, condition upon arrival, and longevity.

The result? The eight most forgiving green goddesses—from an exotic striped zebra plant to a cutie with UFO-shaped leaves—that practically grow themselves.

Succulent Plants (Five-Pack)

Five adorable succulents arrive well-rooted in two inch pots, ready for transferring to that gorgeous glass terrarium you’ve been eyeing. These little guys require minimal care—some species only need watering once a month—and can live indoors all year long, or outside in the summer. Makes a great gift.

Brussel’s Bonsai Red Ponytail Palm

This dude might have better hair days than you. At 15-to-20 inches high, the fresh-from-the-farm ponytail palm comes planted in a pretty cream-colored ceramic pot. It loves bright indoor light and needs minimal watering—only when the soil is dry to the touch.

Costa Farms Guzmania, Red Bromeliad, Live Indoor Plant

Add some tropical flair to your pad with this bold Bromeliad. It grows slowly, so need to prune it back constantly, and likes medium to bright light. It only needs water when the soil feels dry. Arrives at a minimum 18 inches tall, in a 6-inch ceramic planter.

Brussel’s Bonsai Live Money Indoor Bonsai Tree

Bring on the good karma (and hopefully some cash) with this money tree, a traditional symbol of good luck. Actually five trees woven together, your new bonsai likes a sunny spot and water every few days. Planter included; 10-to-14 inches tall.

Heart Leaf Philodendron

Native to southern Brazil, this heart leaf philodendron is one of the easiest houseplants to grow. It can live anywhere in your home—except in direct light. It’s a trailing and climbing plant—perfect for a macrame hanger or in front of a trellis. Vines can grow to reach six feet in length.

Costa Farms 10KIM Nephrolepis Obliterata Kimberly Queen Fern

With its lacy fronds, this puffy beauty can add substance and style to various decors—from mid-century modern (think 70s shag rugs!) to traditional. The slow-growing beauty likes bright filtered light and would thrive both indoors or outside on a patio.

Zebra Haworthia Plant

Place it in a sunny window, sit back, and enjoy the artistic grandeur of this striped, graphic beauty. A definite conversation starter, it only needs watering once every three weeks! Reviewers say it’s “absolutely beautiful” and “arrived in perfect condition.” The picture makes it look big, but it’s actually a compact—and awesome—plant.

Five-Pack Air Plant Tillandsias by Bliss Gardens

These delicate plants need no soil! They can be placed pretty much anywhere— from a shelf to a terrarium— and just need once-a-week watering. They absorb water through their leaves, not their roots, so you can either soak them in water or spritz them. They like bright (but not direct) light, and can even do well in an office with fluorescent lighting.
