Houseplants usually will grow well if they are watered and fed properly. You may not be able to provide the proper conditions for some plants, and others may come with insect pests or diseases from the store. Do not be discouraged if a plant dies. Try another kind. Eventually you will which kinds of plants will grow well in your house.
For the beginning indoor gardeners, here are some easy-to-grow houseplants to choose from:

-Asparagus Fern like bright light and high humidity. Keep soil moist spring to fall. Fertilize in spring and summer.
-Corn Plant moderate light preferred. Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy. Fertilize once in spring, summer and fall.
-Cactus bright, direct sunlight. Water sparingly. Fertilize through fall. Keep cool and dry in winter.
-Wandering Jew moderate light brings out the best coloration. Keep soil barely moist. Fertilize once every 3 months.
-Ivy Aurem tolerates low light well but not direct sunlight. Soak soil, then dry out. Feed frequently spring to fall.
-Peperomia Moderate light (turn plants regularly). Tolerates dry air. Keep soil on the dry side, especially in winter.
-Spider Plant moderate light but tolerates low or bright light. Keep soil moist. Thrives in moderate to high humidity.
-Chrysanthemum likes bright, indirect light and moist soil (not soggy). Cool temperatures will prolong the blossoms.
-African Violet moderate sunlight or artificial light. Keep soil moist; do not wet leaves. Moderate to high humidity.

Succulents
Some succulents, like cacti, have strange and interesting forms. Others, like hoyas, have pretty flowers. Succulents are so named because they store water in their stem or leaf tissue. This ability usually has evolved in plants that grow in very dry areas. To be grown as houseplants, succulents should be planted in potting soil that has a large portion of sand in it. They should be watered only after their soil becomes thoroughly dry. Cacti should be handled carefully because they have spines, sometimes very tiny spins, that can hurt if they get in your skin. You can wrap a folded paper towel around your cactus plant when repotting to protect you from spines.

Indoor Bulbs
Many outdoor bulb plants also have varieties that can be grown indoors during the cold months. Paperwhites, daffodils, crocuses, and amaryllises can all be grown indoors. These need almost no care at all. Fill a clay saucer with gravel. Out the bulbs in the gravel, filling in with more gravel so the bulbs stay upright, but not covering them. Fill the saucer with water just to the base of the bulbs but not so the bulbs actually touch the water. Place the saucer in a sunny place and add water as needed. Within two to six weeks, you will have wonderful flowers inside while outside it may still be bleak and cold.
