Being a student often means a busy life: lectures, parties and the occasional bit of studying. In that chaos, a little green in your room can do wonders. Plants create a cozy atmosphere and purify the air, but you probably don't want a plant that needs a lot of attention. That's why we've put together a list of the best student plants: easy to maintain and resistant to changing temperatures and forgetful waterers.
1. Sansevieria (Mother-in-law's Tongue)
The Sansevieria is perhaps the ideal student plant. This plant hardly needs any water and can survive in both sun and shade. Do you forget to water it for a few weeks? No problem, it will survive. In addition, this plant purifies the air and contributes to a healthy study environment.

2. Cacti
A cactus is a classic among maintenance-free plants. It stores water in its thick stems and therefore only needs a little water once every few weeks. Moreover, it can withstand temperature changes very well, perfect for a student room that sometimes feels like a refrigerator (or oven, when the heating costs are already included in the rent).

3. Zamioculcas (ZZ plant)
The Zamioculcas is a super strong plant that needs little water and adapts well to different light conditions. It grows slowly, so you almost never have to repot it. Put it in a corner and enjoy the greenery without worries!

4. Pancake plant (Pilea Peperomioides)
Want a trendy plant that looks nice and is easy to care for? The pancake plant is perfect. It loves light, but can also survive in less than ideal conditions. Water it once a week and it will continue to grow happily.

5. Succulents
Succulents like Aloe Vera or Echeveria store water in their leaves, so they rarely need watering. Perfect for students who sometimes don't look after their plants for weeks. Extra bonus: Aloe Vera is also useful for minor burns or dry skin.
