Drought tolerant plants like Mexican Bush Sage and Aloe help reduce water usage, help purify the air, and tend to be a bit more resilient for those of us who don't have a green thumb — ahem me! In our home, we are teaching our little one about caring for plants and instilling in her the importance of preserving nature. We've found that air plants are a great choice for toddlers as a simple spritz of water or a small soak (or as we like to call it a plant bath) makes for a fun activity with little mess, since they don't require dirt.
