The top 50 indoor houseplants for brightening your interiors—what's best and how to keep them alive.

Bring the outdoors in and breathe new life into your home with plants! House plants are well and truly back on trend—they instantly lift an area, make a room feel fresh and welcoming, and brighten your mood.

On top of this, indoor plants are great for purifying the air and creating a healthier home. Together with microbes in the soil, plants work wonders to reduce harmful pollutants released from indoor furniture. (It's true: look at the study conducted by the University of Technology, Sydney.)

If you feel like your rooms need a splash of colour and a breath of life, there's no better starting point than Yates Top 50 Indoor Plants And How Not To Kill Them! Whether your style is dramatic jungle plants or sweetly shaped succulents, you'll find something to suit.

With loads of glorious illustrations for inspiration, data on which plants are suitable where, and clear advice on how to pot, prune, and pet your plants, this is the perfect guide for bringing the outdoors in—no matter what your level of gardening skill!

About the Author

Angie Thomas is a horticultural consultant to Yates, and is passionate about the health and benefits of gardening, and about teaching and inspiring people how to garden. She is also mad about growing food and filling her house with indoor plants and the scents from her garden. Yates is the number one bestselling gardening brand in New Zealand. In 1895 Arthur Yates saw the need for a publication that answered gardeners' questions so he wrote the first YATES GARDEN GUIDE, a comprehensive gardening book that is still published more than 125 years later.
