House plants can be categorized in various ways, but when it comes to which plants are the easiest to grow indoors, the level of light plays a major role. House plants prefer to be outdoors with nature taking care of their basic needs, like light and water. Bringing plants indoors lends a natural green to indoor living spaces. Often plants just cannot make the transition and well-meaning indoor gardeners don't have the right conditions for them to survive. The how-to's for growing happy, healthy plants indoors requires knowing which plants are capable of surviving in low light conditions.

Too many of us begin using dried herbs after the frost has killed off the fresh ones in the garden, but there is no need to. Herbs usually grow easily indoors on a nice sunny window-sill. For sure, south facing is best but you can put them in almost any window and find that they are able to adjust to most situations.
