Monstera (Monstera Deliciosa) is a very pretty plant. The leaves can grow to be 60 cm across. They usually have big holes in them, which indicates it comes from a windy place originally. The plant can grow to 230 cm indoors but grows slowly. It's really a creeper. To make it grow upright, you'll need to support it with a stick. On healthy specimens eventually there will be air roots, which are meant to steady the plant. Don't remove them. Monstera is among the plants most easily cared for. Just make sure you have plenty of space. It can stand in semidarkness. 15 - 24 ° C. Don't water it too much! Once a week during the summer and once every fortnight during the winter.

Hoya (Asclepiadaceae) One of my personal favorites is Hoya, the wax flower. The flowers look as if they're made of porcelaine and has a wonderful fragrance. The older the plant the more it blooms. The Hoya needs a lot of light and warmth to bloom. The roots don't want to stand in water, but it wants plenty of water while it blooms. The Hoya is rarely a victim of parasites.

Spider Plants Spider plants, Chlorophytum comosum, need bright natural light but will sunburn if grown in direct sunlight. They also do very well when grown under grow lights, butwill be reluctant to produce the plantlets unless you decrease their light hours to simulate the naturally shorter days of fall, when they normally produce their 'babies'. Keep the soil evenly moist, but never soggy. They also prefer to be in a cooler (55-65 degrees F.) room but will tolerate warmer temperatures. Feed the plant every 3 or 4 months with any house plant fertilizer.

Spider plants are generally easy to grow, and mature plants are quite beautiful until the tips brown out. Tip burn is usually caused chemicals in the water. If you are using city water for your plants it has been chlorinated, and very likely has been treated with fluoride, either of which will cause the burn. Using rainwater or distilled water will take care of this problem. Over fertilizing will also damage the plant, so when you feed it, use 1/2 of the recommended strength.
