House Plant Flowers
If you know the name of your house plant, this list of common house plants from A to Z may help you find out about your indoor plants and flowers and the care of your house plant. I have listed here, in alphabetical order, many of the most common indoor house plants and flowers with pictures.
This list is not a complete list of plants or flowering plants ever used as an indoor plant, but I have attempted to include those plants most often used as indoor potted plants. I have listed the plants that are going to be easier to keep in the average home or office.
Many of those listed, but not all, are plants that are most often used in the interior landscape industry. And because people have different names for plants and flowers, I have tried to include as many common names as possible. Hope you can find what you are looking for, if not you can send an email with your questions.
A few important things I have learned about caring for interior landscape plants are that providing good care for your plants and flowers requires attending to them on a regular schedule and that choosing plants that are well suited for growing indoors makes a world of difference. Starting with a healthy plant, one with a good root system and healthy stems and foliage.
If you are trying to find a good, first house plant and don't know what to buy, check out my list of best indoor house plants. If you have never had indoor plants before you might want to start with something like a Mother-In-Law Tongue plant, as it is a very easy indoor plant to care for. I have some pictures and links to plant care of a few of the easiest house plants further in the page. Most should be available at your local plant nursery, home improvement store, or garden center.
