1. Snake Plant

While the name is fun, this succulent is pretty tame (read: easy!) when it comes to maintenance. More light will help it grow, but it can tolerate darkness — just watch out for root rot caused by overwatering

2. Chinese Evergreen

Since this plant is one of the most durable indoor plants (it does quite well in low light) and only needs to be fertilized once or twice a year, it's ideal for beginner gardeners.

3. Dragon Tree

Spiky leaves that grow upwards and have a red outline makes the name of this plant absolutely perfect. But direct sunlight could damage them – so give this guy some sun and some shade.

4. Dieffenbachia

Filtered light is best for this plant. Try using a curtain as a barrier between it and the sun, especially during the the spring and summer when the plant is producing new, tender leaves.

5. Heart-Leaf Philodendron

The sweetheart plant (a nickname given because of the shape of its glossy leaves) can stand dim rooms, but requires pinching to prevent it from growing in long, single stems.

Sure, marigolds make great bedding plants, but their bold blooms also enhance cut flower arrangements. Here are seven bright ways to display your favorite marigolds.
Editorial Assistant: Emily VanSchmus
Easy-to-grow marigolds produce a profusion of brightly colored blooms. Here are seven ideas for showing off cut marigolds' brilliant colors.

1. Decorate a wreath.

Transform a grapevine wreath into a bright floral display by trimming the stems of your marigolds so they are just short enough to weave into the vines of the wreath. Try this idea in the fall with pumpkins for accents!

2. Mix it up.

Use large marigolds like 'Giant Orange' Africans to anchor an arrangement that includes a mix of other, smaller flowers and greenery. In addition to 'Giant Orange,' this McCoy vase holds 'Tangerine Gem' marigolds, Zinnia 'Queen Red Lime', 'Yves Piaget' roses and two scented geraniums: 'Concolor Lace' and 'Lady Plymouth.'

3. Contrast cool and warm.

Display warm-colored blooms in jars of a contrasting cool color to make your arrangement pop. Flowers shown below (clockwise from top left): Tagetes erecta 'Giant Yellow', Tagetes tenuifolia 'Tangerine Gem', Tagetes patula 'Frances' Choice', Tagetes erecta 'Giant Orange', Tagetes tenuifolia 'Red Gem' and Tagetes patula 'Durango Red'

4. Be bold.

Pairing marigolds with a few larger, boldly-colored flowers – like these pink roses – allows a small arrangement to make a big statement. An old-fashioned stoneware pitcher gives a casual farmhouse feel to the display of 'Yves Piaget' roses, 'Durango Red' and 'Red Gem' marigolds and a few Persian carpet zinias (Zinnia haageana).

5.  Go vertical. 

A wooden ladder turns three simple jars of marigolds into an eye-catching display. This method can be used indoors or out; it’s perfect for transforming a dreary corner of a room or for accenting your deck or garden. Swap out the blooms with fresh flowers as needed
