What Are the Common Houseplants?

The best potted plants, whether they are located in a living or office space, can help lift both areas to look more vibrant than usual. There are common houseplants that naturally exude their beauty through their aroma, color, shape and size, which is actually helpful in providing a certain place to look more inviting when viewed.

Ordinary potted plants also require specific needs (although they help to beautify an area, their needs are not the same) as conditions related to watering and lighting requirements. But to give these plants what they need, it is best to start by identifying which potted plant to use. In addition, note that all houseplants are grown indoors (some examples of plants are English Ivy, Boston Fern and Areca Palm).

Keeping potted plants indoors also helps keep the air clean (other than adding more oxygen). Keeping several of these plants at home is actually a health benefit as they help to separate the toxins into the air (toxins such as carbon monoxide and ammonia). They also help prevent people from suffering from potential diseases, as healthy potted plants help facilitate the emergence of moisture and dust particles (the healthier the plant the better).

Another advantage of retaining these plants is their ability to grow in the middle of dimly lit areas (hence the term dimly lit potted plants). But do not keep them in spaces where there are no light sources at all. These plants will still need some sunshine directed at them and will still require different light intensities (since not all houseplants are at the same level).

Familiarize yourself now with the different types of houseplants. There are non-flowering houseplants, as there is also an abundance of flowering houseplants (such as chrysanthemums and gardens that require enough sunlight on them). Those that do not bear flowers will usually require less maintenance compared to those that do bloom (flowering plants may also require some replanting later). Some examples of flowering plants are tulips and begonias.

If you want to find common houseplants that you can use for your home or office decoration, you can go to the following that can simply be raised indoors: Cactus (requires some maintenance), Philodendron, African Violet, Croton, Jade, Aloe Vera, poinsettia, corn plant, spider plant, ivy, palm, peace lily, rooted begonia, star jasmine, primrose, Jerusalem cherry, geranium, fuchsia, flowering maple, ferns, Chinese evergreens and azaleas (just to name a few).
