What should I consider when choosing flowers for the house?

When choosing potted plants for your home, there are three important principles to follow:

  1. Choose plants in terms of position, that is, where they will stand, such as on a sunny windowsill or in a dark corner of the room.
  2. If you have pets at home, check whether the chosen species are not poisonous for them, e.g. sansewieria is poisonous for cats.
  3. The pot should match the interior and emphasize the beauty of the plant inside.
