Peperomias!

With over 1,000 species, the peperomia family is one of the most diverse groups of houseplants on the planet. What they all share is compact size, interesting foliage and an easygoing nature that makes them one of the best plants for beginners and collectors alike. Watermelon peperomia, baby rubber plants, ripple peperomias — each one has its own distinct look, but they all tolerate low to medium light and irregular watering without complaint.

They stay small enough for a desk or a shelf, they're non-toxic to pets and they propagate easily. If you want a plant that is genuinely low effort but still interesting to look at, a peperomia is a great place to start.
