1 Cacti

Cacti are unpretentious plants that can safely do without water for a long time. Even on the contrary: frequent and excessive watering is harmful for them. This can also include the closest cousins of succulents cacti. These plants also tolerate the lack of watering and not the most favorable conditions like dry air and heat without any problems. In summer, cacti are watered a couple of times a week, and in winter watering is reduced to once every 4-5 days. If you are staying late at a party or on vacation, do not worry: the plant can do without water for a longer period. 

2 Zamiokulkas

For example, it can be watered rarely, and if sometimes you leave the plant without water for a few days, then nothing terrible will happen to it. Zamiokulkas feels great in a simple, not saturated with fertilizers, but with an admixture of sand and good drainage. Water the flower when the ground in the pot is completely dry, but you can even wait a couple more days after that.

This flower is unpretentious, it feels comfortable in large and small pots with any soil. Also, chlorophytum is resistant to the absence of the sun and cool temperatures (it can withstand up to + 10 degrees). Water the plant every two days in spring and once a week in winter. In addition to being unpretentious, it has another important plus: it has a beneficial effect on the air quality in the apartment, ridding it of harmful impurities.

Sansevieria is a great option for those who do not want (or do not know how) take care of plants, but loves living greenery at home. This flower is really unpretentious: it tolerates temperature changes well, is insensitive to drafts, feels great both in the shade and under the sun. In winter, sansevieria can not be watered at all. In a word, this is a godsend for those who often leave home and cannot closely monitor a green pet these days.

The fat woman has dense rounded leaves with thick skin, which perfectly retain moisture. That is why it can do without water for a long time and perfectly tolerates dry air. This plant feels great both in shady places of the apartment and on a well-lit windowsill. In winter, it is watered no more than twice a month, in spring and autumn once a week, and in summer every 3-4 days. Therefore, the flower can be safely left in the apartment at any time of the year while you are away.

6 Spathiphyllum

This beautiful plant with neat white flowers looks spectacular and does not require complex care. Spathiphyllum can be left without water for a couple of weeks, and nothing will happen to him.
