A houseplant is a plant grown indoors, typically for decoration.
Most houseplants are tropical species that thrive in the stable temperatures and indirect light of interior spaces: The fiddle-leaf fig has become a trendy houseplant.
Houseplants range from low-maintenance succulents to finicky orchids requiring careful attention.
