It is about such plants- complaisant, understanding everything, able to enter into the position of the owners, today we will talk. Let's take a closer look: which indoor plants are the most unpretentious to care for?

It is possible to transplant this xiphoid beauty only when the roots do not fit into the pot at all, and it is not at all necessary to feed it.

The only thing the fat woman needs is breathable soil with the addition of a large amount of sand.
