After purchasing a houseplant, most owners strive for rapid growth, putting in significant effort to create the ideal conditions for their green companions. However, some plants grow pretty quickly without meticulous care, according to Daily Express.
Aloe
Aloe succulents are a classic choice for any home, loved for their longevity. Aloe is one of the easiest plants to care for and grows remarkably fast. Reportedly, a new leaf can appear every few months until the spiky succulent reaches full maturity.
This striking succulent is perfect for any room in the house. Its jagged leaves give it an otherworldly appearance. Aloe leaf juice is believed to contain numerous vitamins and amino acids, giving it potential antibacterial properties.

Chlorophytum
Another classic choice is the evergreen spider plant, Chlorophytum. This houseplant not only naturally grows quickly but is also perfect for propagation.
Thanks to this feature, you can get several pots of small spider plants relatively quickly.
However, this fast-growing plant requires repotting into appropriately sized containers. Therefore, monitor the roots to prevent damage as the leaves grow longer.

Hibiscus
If you prefer genuinely colorful plants, hibiscus may be the perfect houseplant for you.
Depending on the type you choose, hibiscus can grow to a height of 1.5 to 1.8 meters within the first year, making it ideal for filling an empty corner of the home.
Its stunning bright flowers transform any room into a tropical paradise, making it a fantastic addition to the home during the dreary autumn months.

Bamboo
A favorite among pandas, bamboo has become a global sensation among gardeners as a low-maintenance but fast-growing houseplant.
Though bamboo grows best outdoors, it can thrive in most indoor environments. However, bamboo requires regular feeding, as it needs plenty of nutrients during growth.

Peace lily
Peace lilies are considered the perfect plant for beginners since they are highly adaptable to various conditions. If properly cared for, they will grow upward quickly.
With indirect light and frequent watering, a mature peace lily can reach half a meter in height. Its striking white flowers create a beautiful contrast with the vibrant green leaves, making it an elegant accent to any space.
