The leaves fall off but I think that's normal': the houseplants you just can't kill
Briefly

Many popular houseplants, often seen as basic or uninspiring, thrive under a variety of conditions. To elevate their aesthetic appeal, unique display methods such as using oversized planters or mass groupings can make them more visually interesting. While orchids are resilient and versatile, careful selection is advised, particularly as many plants marketed in stores are not built for longevity. For homes with limited natural light, options are sparse, but certain low-light plants can be effective. In contrast, sunnier spaces are ideal for cacti and succulents, providing a broader range of choices.
The key to making bog standard houseplants look good is to display them in an atypical way: an oversized trough of snake plants rather than a few leaves in a lonely pot.
When it comes to shopping for houseplants, bear in mind that many plants sold in DIY stores and supermarkets are not marketed with longevity in mind.
