Windowsills are seriously prime real estate in your home when it comes to plants. So, make the most of the outdoor view by adding houseplants to contemplate the windowsill decor.

Echeverias are such popular windowsill plants because they need bright light and minimal watering thus, relatively easy to care for (as long as you don’t overwater them). They are also small enough for the windowsill area.

Cacti, succulents, and also the missionary plant, Pilea perperomiodes are all low-maintenance houseplants that are perfect for a windowsill.

Just remember to keep an eye out for sunburned leaves if your plant is getting southern or eastern exposure to the sun.
