Best Low-Maintenance Houseplants for a Beginner's Farmhouse in New Jersey

Easy, Hard-to-Kill Plants for a Well-Lit New Jersey Farmhouse

Jeff moved into an airy, well-lit farmhouse in NJ but has zero plant knowledge (raised on plastic flowers). Wants hearty, foolproof recommendations.

Expert Guidance from Will Creed

• Easiest: ZZ Plant—tolerates wide light range, water every 3–4 weeks.
• Beyond that: Match plants to specific light. Plants fail if light doesn't match needs.
• Define locations first: e.g., "west windowsill," "6 ft from south window," "in front of north window." Direction + distance + angle = light intensity.
• Then specify: Tall? Table-sized? Hanging?
