Easy Indoor Plants, Gardening Guide
Easy Indoor Plants and How to Choose Them. The art to growing indoor plants successfully is to choose plants that suit your room conditions... An Aphidistra may not be as beautiful as a Cyclamen when looked in daylight. However, a healthy Aphidistra in a dimly-lit room is much more beautiful than an ailing Cyclamen in the same situation.
So evaluate your room situation before you buy houseplants. Look at the light source, The direction the room is facing, How many hours of sun the room gets every day, Is it air-conditioned? Are there draughts? If you choose plants according to room condition, rather than just because you like the look of them, you’ll have a much greater success. Following is a list of plants suitable to different conditions. Easy Indoor Plants- Plants for Air Conditioned Rooms Air conditioning tends to remove the heat and humidity from the air. But this is the very thing that most indoor plants like. Also, machines are often turned off at night, so that plants endure temperature and humidity extremes twice a day. When air conditioning runs continuously, plants have a better chance adapting to these artificial conditions.

Plants are more sensitive to light than we are, and most will not like being four meters or more from the window. So don't treat 'em like mushrooms. The list of plants that will tolerate low light areas is rather short. Usually, plants with dark green, glossy leaves perform well in darkish spots.
