If you prefer a plant other than succulents, cacti, snake plants, aloe vera, zz plants, there are many others that require little maintenance and are easy to keep indoors. Many of these plants, along with succulents, only need to be watered once a week and can even be kept in places where there isn’t a lot of light. Plants are a perfect way to spruce up your room and can easily go with the forest theme you are looking for.
