Working in the interior landscape industry for many years, I have learned which indoor tropical plants are the best house plants. Caring for indoor potted plants that are in less than optimal growing conditions has become second nature. The indoor house plants on the following list are some of the most adaptable and durable under many different growing conditions. There are 12 indoor plants on my list of best house plants to grow at home or at the office.

Best House Plants | Indoor Plants Flowers

Here is my list of the best indoor house plants. I have included on this list some Aglaonema plant varieties, a few Dracaena plants, Pothos plant, Sansevieria plants, known to many by the names of Snake Plant or Mothers-In-Law Tongue, and a few of the more easy to care for and hardy house plants. These great looking, easy care indoor house plants are some of the most commonly used in the interior landscape industry and for good reason.

If you are just beginning to develop an interest in growing house plants, one of the plants on this list would be a good place to start. Hope you find the perfect, best house plant for your home or office!

Working in the interior landscape industry, I get a lot of questions from customers about their personal houseplants. It is nice helping them keep their indoor house plants growing and healthy. That is why I started this website, to help others learn how to care for their indoor plants and flowers. So please read on!

⚘ How This Website Started ⚘

Hi Plant and Flower People!

I started this website in 2012 while helping my younger brother through a fight with terminal cancer. Between shopping, cleaning, cooking, laundry, doctor/hospital visits, and other tasks to help him, I taught myself HTML/CSS and other skills used in creating a website. My brother had a very successful stock photography website himself and his advice to me was to make a website about something you know.

I had left a job in the interior landscape industry in 2012 (I have worked in the interior landscape industry since 1986) to go across the country to help him out. So that became the subject of this website, indoor house plant and flower care.

It costs money for hosting service, domain fees, etc. to keep websites running. That is why I have third party ads/Amazon products and other affiliate links on webpages. Please use them if they are helpful to you as I earn commissions/ad revenue through them and they help pay costs for hosting, domain name, etc.

If you need some help with the general care of your indoor plants and flowers, read about basic houseplant care. You can also email houseplant care questions or requests for help identifying your mysterious indoor plant!

Please also consider supporting this website with a donation, if you can. Any help is appreciated. Hope you find some helpful information here. Thank you and read on Plant People!
