#Philodendron – This simple plant is popular because it isn’t too fussy. The Philodendron family includes upright and climbers in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. Place philodendrons in a spot with moderate to high light, give them something to attach to, and keep the soil moist for reliable green foliage.
