Indoor plants offer a natural aesthetic with many vibrant colours, scents and forms for your home. To help you narrow down the best houseplant for your indoor space read our FAQs below. You’ll also find plenty of expert tips and tricks in our houseplants masterclass.

Which indoor plants are safe for cats and dogs?

When choosing a pet-friendly indoor plant, it’s really important to check that your plant is non toxic. Pets are curious, love to explore and nibble on large leaves. It’s especially important with exuberant puppies. Non-toxic houseplants include spider plants, peperomia and African violets. For more information, read our guide to pet friendly houseplants.

Best houseplants for full sun

A spot in full sun can present a few challenges for a houseplant. It’s important to make sure the compost never fully dries out and to monitor for signs of leaf scorch. Our houseplants for bright spots collection is a great place to find sun loving houseplants like succulents, exotic citrus and scented blooms.

Which houseplants flower?

There are many delightful flowering houseplants. For a flowering trailing houseplant you can’t go wrong with a hoya. A highlight of the collection is the super scented gardenia. This beauty produces highly scented white blooms which unfurl to reveal thick double centres offset by deep glossy green leaves.

Best houseplants for shade

Choose a shade loving house plant to brighten the darker corners of your home. Foliage houseplants like the upright zamioculcas and trailing epipremnum suit shady spots. An aspidistra is a stalwart of darker houses and has been a firm houseplant favourite since the Victorian era!
