There are house plants for sun and shade, dry conditions and humid bathrooms – almost a house plant for every situation and every home gardener.

Indoor plants have been proven to improve mental health and air quality in the home. Some house plants even absorb pollutants from household items such as fire-retardant furniture. Whatever your experience of growing house plants, there are plenty to suit you. Some indoor plants barely need watering or repotting at all!
