Top 5 plants to keep at your desk

A quick glimpse of greenery soothes your eyes from digital eye strain. With a green buddy near, you are less anxious  as you work. 

Plants that can be kept on your office or home desk need to be resilient, and require low-maintenance.

ZZ plant:  It can go days without watering and does not always require direct sunlight, thriving well in indoor lighting.

Zebra Cactus: For those who love all things cute and small, the Zebra Cactus' unique structure and low maintenance will make you a big fan of this plant.

Jade plant:  This versatile plant with plump, oval shaped leaves requires low lighting.  

Snake plant:  Those who appreciate a bit of foliage on their desk, this plant's long sword like leaves make the desk look beautiful. Occasionally, it requires trimming to avoid overgrowth. 

Aloe Vera:  The ultimate resilient plant, Aloe Vera thrives near a sunny window sill with minimal care. Simply prune occasionally to prevent overgrowth. Bonus points if you use it in your skincare routine!
