What are the best plants to grow indoors?

My house has very sunlight and I want to grow some plants inside the home.





Please tell me what plants can grow indoors.

What are the best plants to grow indoors?
The Calathea majestica 'Roseolineata' likes bright light!





This Prayer plant's leaves curl up at night, like hands folded in prayer. Up to 9 inches long and 5 inches wide, the leaves have pale pink stripes on glossy dark green leaves with purple undersides. The plant reaches 28 inches tall.





Also, the Homalomena rubescens 'Emerald Gem'.





Relatively new to the market, this compact plant bears dark green heart-shaped leaves that are 4 to 5 inches wide. Give it dappled sunlight and keep the soil evenly moist. Re pot infrequently since the roots don't like to be disturbed.








Hope this helps! =)
Reply:You didn't say what kind of plant you are looking for.


I have many plants, but my favourite is a peace lily. It can be purchased for very little money at a Walmart. It will be small, depending upon how much you want to spend, but you just keep repotting it into a slightly larger pot each time. (use good potting soil, and keep ground moist) You should keep it in a sunny window, and you will eventually get lovely white spike flowers on it. Mine is about 15 years old, and sits in a large pot on the floor. It always has at least 3- 8 blooms on it.


Other very easy, and pretty plants are: dieffenbachia, asparagus fern (hanging), spider plant (hanging), all of these help clean the air. Other fun plants are african violets and Christmas Cactus. These flower at least once a year, and are beautiful and all are fairly easy to grow.


One hint for a beginner - get good potting soil, and buy pots that have a watering reservoir (water into the reservoir in the bottom of the pot, and it draws water up as needed to the plant. As long as the reservoir has water, your plant has enough to drink. I also get the little pellets of fertilizer and follow instructions on the label.


Most plants help clean the air ,so you aren't just beautifying your home, but making it healthier as well.


Good Luck, and happy home gardening. .

You could get some ivy vines, but basicly you just need to go to the store and make a desicion.
