Plant type isn't always the best place to begin. If light, pets, room size, humidity or how much care you want to give matters more, start with your real life conditions instead.

A Few Things You Might Want to Know
What are some of the most popular types of houseplants? +
Popular indoor plant groups include Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, Aglaonema, Ferns, Palms and Cacti & Succulents.
Each group offers something different, from dramatic tropical foliage and colourful leaves to trailing growth and desert vibes.
What is the difference between Monstera and Philodendron? +
Monstera and Philodendron are different genera (groups of closely related plants), although both belong to the Araceae family (the plant family that includes Monstera, Philodendron and Alocasia) and many are tropical climbing houseplants.
Monstera are particularly well known for mature leaves that develop fenestrations (natural holes and splits in mature leaves), while Philodendron includes a huge range of climbing, trailing and self heading (growing upright rather than climbing or trailing) plants with many different leaf shapes and colours.
Which plant types are good for beginners? +
The best choice depends on the individual variety and the conditions in your home. Some Aglaonema, palms and certain cacti or succulents can be relatively straightforward once their basic needs are understood.
If ease of care matters more than plant type, head straight to Easy Care Plants instead.
Which plant types like higher humidity? +
Many tropical plants, including Alocasia and numerous Ferns, appreciate moderate to higher humidity, although requirements vary between individual species (distinct types of plant within a wider group).
If humidity is your main consideration rather than plant type, browse our Humidity Lovers collection.
What plant types suit bright, sunny spaces? +
Cacti and many succulents are good places to begin when you have plenty of bright light, with some varieties able to enjoy periods of direct sun once properly acclimatised (gradually adjusted to new growing conditions).
Light requirements still vary considerably, so always check the individual plant's care information before choosing a sunny position.
What if I don't know what type of houseplant I want? +
You don't need to know a plant's genus (the group of closely related plants it belongs to) before finding something that works for you.
Start instead with your room, light levels, available space, pets and how much care you want to give it using Shop by Lifestyle or Shop by Space.
