Ferns
Ferns come in a wide variety of shapes and while not all ferns make good houseplants, the maidenhair, asparagus and sword ferns thrive in a cool, shady spot, like a bathroom or kitchen. With some protection from the midday heat, these ferns grow best in bright light. Weak light can be tolerated for short periods of time if led lights are topped up regularly. In ordinary room temperature, these plants will continue to grow throughout the year but will stop at 10C. Below 10C the plant’s likely to die.

Zebra Plant (Aphelandra squarrosa)
Prefers a softly lit location indoors away from direct sunlight. Daily water and mist are essential. Plants may have yellow or even orange flowers that last for long.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera, one of the rare succulents on the list, is well known for its topical use, although the opinion is still out on how successful or healthy it really is. It is a sturdy, drought-hardy plant that also survives frost and snow. It’s like a bright spot and well-drained soil inside, but it can still burn in full sun and needs limited water in the winter.
