Are the plants you love the ones you can have? A good rule of (green) thumb is to determine the amount of natural light your space receives, and to choose your plant accordingly. One way to do this is to figure out which direction your windows face.
South-facing windows give bright light, east & west-facing windows give moderate light, and north-facing windows give low light. If there’s something outside your window that could obstruct sunlight, make sure to take that into consideration, too. Most houseplants prefer bright, indirect sunlight, but many can tolerate lower light levels. If the sun is intense through your windows, you may want to add a sheer curtain to diffuse the light.
If you don’t have good lighting, consider getting a plant grow light. I recommend this one: GHodec Grow Light for Indoor Plants with clip. It’s the one I plan on purchasing for my home. “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”
