Homes, apartments, and offices are typically ill-suited to the needs of plants. At the nursery, indoor plants are grown under nearly ideal light, temperature, and other conditions. Two key factors in successful indoor plant selection are choosing plants that can tolerate the indoor conditions of a specific location and acquiring the knowledge necessary to maintain the chosen plants in a healthy condition.
