There are many "experts" in drought tolerance hidden in the plant world. Even if they are not watered frequently, they can still thrive and be full of vitality. Next, I will introduce several worry-free and drought-tolerant plants to you.

Cactus: The cactus is a typical representative of desert plants. Its fleshy stem is thick and can store a large amount of water. It has a high demand for sunlight and is suitable to be placed on a sunny windowsill or balcony. Generally, water it once every 1-2 weeks, and make sure to water it thoroughly. Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering it again.

Aloe vera: The leaves of aloe vera are thick, plump, and juicy. The internal gel-like substance not only has medicinal value, which can soothe sunburns, repair the skin, but also has beauty effects. At the same time, it is the key to storing water for aloe vera. Aloe vera likes a warm and sunny environment and is tolerant of semi-shade. Control the watering frequency to once every 2-3 weeks. Overwatering is likely to cause root rot.

Agave: The agave plant is tall and upright. Its leaves are fleshy and hard, arranged in layers in a rosette shape, and the edges are equipped with sharp thorns, which gives it great ornamental value and a unique temperament. Agave has a high requirement for sunlight and can be placed outdoors for cultivation or in an indoor space with sufficient light. Water it once every 3-4 weeks, and in winter, you can water it less frequently, allowing the soil to remain relatively dry, which is more conducive to its growth.

Sansevieria trifasciata: Sansevieria trifasciata, also known as mother-in-law's tongue, has upright leaves with unique patterns on the surface. It has extremely strong adaptability and is particularly excellent in drought tolerance. It can grow well in environments with sufficient sunlight or semi-shade, making it very suitable for indoor cultivation. There is no need to water it too frequently. Watering it once every 1-2 months can meet its growth needs. When watering, be careful to avoid splashing water onto the center of the leaves to prevent the leaves from rotting.

Hylocereus undatus: Hylocereus undatus has a unique shape, presenting a triangular prism shape, with regular wavy teeth on the edges. It is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas and has strong drought tolerance. Hylocereus undatus requires sufficient sunlight for growth and can be placed outdoors or in a bright indoor area. Control the watering frequency to once every 2-3 weeks. During the hot summer months, you can appropriately increase the number of waterings, but be careful to avoid waterlogging.

Lithops: Lithops are small and delicate, and their appearance is extremely similar to stones. The top of its fleshy leaves has unique patterns and colors. During the flowering period, it will bloom flowers in colors such as yellow and white from the top. Lithops likes a sunny, warm, and dry environment. When watering, follow the principle of "water thoroughly when the soil is dry". Generally, water it once every 3-4 weeks, and strictly control the water supply during the low-temperature winter months.
