What is it?
Houseplants are plants that live inside buildings. They can be tropical or desert plants that adapt to indoor light and temperature. People keep them for their beauty, to clean the air, or for cultural reasons. The snake plant is a popular houseplant because it is very hardy. Phalaenopsis orchids are also very popular houseplants because they bloom for a long time.
