With so many different houseplant varieties to choose from, you may feel a little bit overwhelmed when it comes to choosing the right houseplant for your decorating. Although we can’t visit your home and tell you the exact houseplants that we would recommend, we can tell you what some of the top houseplants are that are used for decorating. Here is a list and description of some of the top houseplants:

1.Spider plant: This plant is one of the most popular houseplants to use for decorating – and for good reason! The leaves of the spider plant can come in green, or they can come with yellow stripes. In addition, the spider plant also produces pretty white flowers, which are really fun. It has been recommended that the spider plant fits in best with either country cottage or Victorian decoration.

2.Dragon Tree: A lot of people mistake the Dragon Tree for being a yucca plant, but it is a little bit different (although they look rather similar). The Dragon Tree is a very popular option for decorating these days, especially for people who have an Asian type of decoration in their home. This plant also looks good with a lot of Modern decoration as well. Some people think that this plant looks best in the corner of a room, particularly because it can grow to a tall height in that space.

3.Dumb Cane: Dumb Cane is a white-on-green plant which looks really good with contemporary decor as well. However, if you purchase Dumb Cane, you will need to make sure that it is kept out of the reach of animals and small children – if you eat this plant, it can paralyze your vocal chords.

4.Geraniums: Geraniums are a really popular houseplant for decorating, particularly because the bright flowers of the plant add a great splash of color to any room. In addition, geraniums are fairly easy plants to take care of as well – make sure that you place it in full sun, let it drain between waterings, and you will have a happy and healthy plant which should bloom all year long!


5.Chinese Evergreen: Another popular houseplant that is used for decoration is the Chinese Evergreen. These plants are often used in homes that are decorated with a type of “Victorian parlor” look. In addition, many offices also like to decorate their space with Chinese Evergreen. This plant thrives in more shady conditions and it really adapts well to whatever space it is placed in.

6.Yucca: Yucca plants are made of very spiky leaves that come from a very thick stalk. These plants are very popular in decorating, and you will often see them in homes that have a Southwestern style. They also look great in Asian and Modern decoration! Plus, these plants are also very easy to care for, which make them a top choice among decorators as well.

7.Radiator Plant: If you have a windowsill or a bookshelf that needs a little bit of color, then you might want to consider the Radiator Plant. This cute little plant, which makes a little rosette of leaves, is a very popular option for people who want to decorate a sill or shelf.

Hopefully one of these top houseplants will be able to work well within your home as well. However, if you still have questions or doubts about the best type of houseplant for your decorating, you should consult with either a gardener or an interior designer. You also can take pictures of your interior space and show them to a customer service representative at a gardening store – they might have a couple of good suggestions for you. Good luck with decorating your home with houseplants!
