Guide to Exotic Houseplants

 Are you fed up with houseplant staples? Exotic plants aren’t as hard to come by or care for as you might think.

by Jodi De Long for readersdigest.ca

While classic straggling spider plants, dieffenbachia, and gangly geraniums plants are wonderful indoor performers, the world of houseplants encompasses beautiful choices from around the world. So why not try something a little different?

Whether you prefer flowering houseplants or those featuring attractive foliage, choose healthy specimens that are compact and bushy, without yellowing or dead leaves, and with no obvious signs of insects or disease.

Check out this guide to find the exotic plant that best suits your home.
