Why plants?
On to the plants!
Pothos
These plants require low light, and little water – nice and low maintenance. You can also “propagate” your Pothos plant to grow new ones, which can be a fun experiment for your class.
Snake Plant
Another low maintenance plant friend – low light, low water! These are slow to grow but also very hearty and… hard to kill… so basically, they classroom approved!

Air Plants
I LOVE air plants because they’re so easy and have a lot of character! They won’t get very big, so they’re a great option for small spaces, like if you’re a clinician working in an office. Be sure to shake off the bottom of the plants so they don’t sit in any water, or just use a spray bottle when they need some water!
Succulents
Everyone loves a succulent! They are pretty easy to care for as long as you have some sunlight!
What about accessories?
A watering can and a spray bottle are two tools that were essential in my classroom for this to go successfully. You can even write reminders or prompts for specific plants on the watering can/spray bottle to help students stay consistent and keep the plants healthy.
Do you have plants in your classroom? Are you willing to give it a try? How do you think these beauties will increase student independence in your class community? Let us know what you think!
