Millions of people have house plants, especially people who live in apartments. However, some people may not have the time or patience to take care of them. Unlike outdoor plants, a house plant will not get any rain nor will it get as much sunlight, unless it is on a balcony. A person will often have to take more care with a house plant than a plant in a garden.

•There are many house plants to choose from. Because of the large variety, an individual should be able to find a house plant that fits in with their lifestyle. Living conditions should also affect the type of house plant one gets. Someone who lives in an apartment with lots of exposure to the sun may be able to nurture a house plant that needs a lot of sunlight. An individual who lives somewhere without much sun exposure should look for a house plant that does not need much sunlight. While it is possible to carry a house plant outside each day so that it can soak up the sun, one should ask them self if this is really something they are willing to do.

•The rooms that the house plant is going in should also affect the type. Areas that are dark, like hallways should have different house plants than areas in a home that get lots of sunlight. Some house plants thrive on little sunlight while others will die. The amount of watering one is willing to do should also affect the type of house plant one decides on. Some are willing to invest a lot of care into a house plants, even if they need a daily watering to keep the soil moist. Most house plants do not require a daily watering and are fine with being watered once a week. Others need even less than that, like a cactus.

•House plants are grown in potting soil, which is very healthy and soft. Because of the fact that the house plant is in a soil that is already healthy, it is unlikely that it will need to be fertilized often. Keeping the house plant in good shape depends on the individual. If one gets the type of house plant that is a good match with their home, then the plant will be much more likely to survive. The same rule applies when considering what level of care on is willing to invest. An individual should remove any dead leaves from the house plant when it is necessary. A person should also be prepared to re-pot a house plant if it outgrows its holder, which is something that often happens. Keeping the house plant in an appropriate sized holder and giving the roots room to grow is important.

A house plant does not require the same level of commitment that a pet does, but it does require some. Deciding on the right house plant should depend on an individuals home circumstances, not just on what house plant they think is the most attractive.
