Douglas Hunt on Jul 13, 2012Agaves and aloes are excellent low-maintenance plants, but if you are thinking about something for indoors keep in mind that they want a lot of light, and generally have spines or teeth in varying degrees of ferocity.Helpful Reply

Sixteenfourteen on Jul 15, 2012Ohhh, Douglas, you pointed out something I hadn't thought about: danger! I have 2 little boys and a toddler niece. Maybe I can find a smaller one for the mantel. ;-) Thanks!Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Jul 15, 2012If you want a sculptural look like that, how about good old snake plant, Sansevieria trifasciata? It's about as low-maintenance a houseplant as you can find.Helpful Reply
