3 OF THE BEST INDOOR PLANTS

PRAYER PLANT

So named because the leaves close together at night as if in prayer. It has lovely coloured foliage and does best in a welllit place. Once past its prime it’s great for shady gardens.

CHINESE EVERGREEN

The go-anywhere Chinese evergreen will cope with almost anything, from air-conditioning in summer to heating in winter. A very easy-care plant.

ZANZIBAR GEM

Also known as eternity plant, it’s hardy and loves a well-lit spot. Clean its leaves regularly and water sparingly, as it doesn’t like sitting in puddles.
