Choosing Houseplants

Spider Plant

Foliage plants are the backbone of most houseplant collections. In full form year-round, they provide varied shades of green, a rich variety of textures, and shapes from massive to minute. Plants can be found to match the conditions in most any spot, from a bright corner by a window to a dim nook in a bathroom. How you choose to display the plants is up to you, but all can be made to match interior design and decor tastefully.

Flowering plants add bright splashes of color and exquisite scents. Some are difficult to raise indoors and are seasonal gift plants. Others are not quite so temperamental and will bloom year after year. The secret is to match your and your plants' needs so that you both get what you want: healthy plants that provide stunning color and delicate scent for as long as possible.
