There are some major differences between indoor and outdoor plants. Houseplants are often more delicate than outdoor plants and require more care. Indoor plants need less water than outdoor plants, but they also need more light. You'll need to keep the soil moist but not soggy, and make sure that the soil drains well so that your plant doesn't get waterlogged.
If you're looking for a new houseplant, we have some great ideas for you! Here are our top five choices:
1. Peace Lily: The peace lily can be grown in both sun or shade and is easy to care for. It doesn't need much water and grows best when it's watered regularly throughout the summer months (May through September). Peace lilies are also referred to as spathiphyllum. It's a relatively common houseplant that's often seen in offices and homes, with its low-maintenance requirements and long lifespan.
People tend to buy spathiphyllums more frequently during the winter months than any other time of year. The holidays are coming up soon, so now might be a good time to start planning how you're going to celebrate!
2. African Violets: African violets can be grown in either shade or full sun and prefer moist soil with good drainage. You should water them regularly during their growing season (April through October). They grow best in temperatures between 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 80 degrees Fahrenheit at night time."
African violets are beautiful, easy-to-grow plants that are great for people who don't have a lot of time to spend on their plants. They're perfect for beginners, too—and they can be grown indoors or out.
These plants are members of the Gesneriaceae family and were first discovered in Africa in the 19th century. Since then, there have been hundreds of varieties created with different colors, shapes, and sizes. They're named after their discoverer—Walter Adolphe Neidenbach—and grow best in indirect sunlight.

3, Diffenbachia: Diffenbachia is a plant that is native to Central and South America. It's also known as the Swiss Cheese plant because of its colorful patterned leaves, which look like tiny slices of cheese. In fact, it's often used in floral arrangements or as a houseplant because it's easy to care for, grows quickly, and requires little sunlight.
Diffenbachia plants are popular among those who want to add a bit of color to their home without taking on the responsibility of caring for a full-size tree or shrub. They're also great for children's rooms and offices because they don't require much attention to stay healthy.
4. Kalanchoe: Kalanchoe plants are succulents that are often used as houseplants. They have thick, fleshy leaves and produce small flowers in a wide variety of colors.
The most common type of kalanchoe is Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, commonly known as the Mother of Thousands plant. This plant produces new plants from its leaves, so it's easy to start new plants from cuttings. The other most common types of kalanchoe are Kalanchoe daigremontiana, also known as Kuda (the Baby Jesus plant), and Kalanchoe tubiflora.
Kalanchoe plants can be kept indoors or outdoors depending on the type you choose and how much water they need. If you want to keep them indoors, choose one that has at least six hours of sunlight per day so it can flower properly. You can also bring them outside when the weather is warm enough for them to thrive in their new environment without getting too much sun exposure which would burn their leaves or cause them to wilt faster than usual!
Kalanchoe plants are available year-round but tend to be more popular during springtime due to their flowering nature during this time of year (April-May).
