About these plants

Read up

This category holds the everyday foliage plants that are not filed as tropical, succulent or trailing: mostly upright plants such as Rubber Plant, ZZ Plant, Chinese Evergreen, Dracaena, Money Tree and Yucca. Most are grown for their leaves and are comfortable at ordinary room temperatures. Their light needs vary a lot, from ZZ Plant, which copes with low light, to Yucca, which wants direct sun, so check each profile before you choose a spot. If you are new to houseplants, start with the beginner-friendly plants and use the Watering Calculator to get your schedule right from day one.
