The best spot in your house for each plant comes down to lighting, climate, and maintenance.
Plant stylists Summer Rayne Oakes and Maryah Greene told Insider what plants go best in different rooms.
Try a Monstera in a bedroom, and use a spider plant in a playroom to add greenery while keeping kids safe.

Plant stylists Maryah Greene and Summer Rayne Oakes said that Monstera or succulents are great for bedroom spaces.

Grow herbs to use in the kitchen, or go with a fern so it stays out of the way when you're cooking.
