Houseplants can be a great addition to any household, giving your living space an instant pop of colour.
A gardener has named three ideal houseplants to inject a bit more "greenery into their homes".
Houseplant expert Fiona Jenkins advised gardening novices to invest in snake plants.
She said: "Snake plants are very easy to care for and can survive in most light conditions - just don't keep them in complete darkness or extreme direct sunlight."

GETTYSnake plants are "quite forgiving" and will not suffer as much if you forget to water them.
The expert advised: "Check the soil to see if it is dry. If it is, top it up with some water, but avoid overwatering.
"You can keep a snake plant looking beautifully fresh easily by simply wiping any dust off the leaves. You only need to do this every now and again when you notice a dust build-up."
Another good choice for houseplant fans is the devil’s envy, also known as Golden pothos, hunter's robe, or ceylon creeper.
Fiona said: "This is one of the most popular houseplants among those who want to bring a bit of greenery into their homes.
"It can quite happily live in darkness and shaded areas, so it's perfect for an indoor plant. It makes a great climbing or hanging plant."
Devil's envy is very "quick to grow" and "tolerant in all lighting conditions", but does thrive when in bright sunlight.
It is very easy to spot when the houseplant needs watering as "the leaves will start curling".

Finally, Fiona recommended the silver vine, which is "growing in popularity" among houseplant newbies.
"Again, this is a brilliant climbing or hanging plant for beginners," she said.
"Although it is mostly accustomed to warmer climates, this plant can also cope well in cooler homes. The speckled leaves on this plant are unique and bring a lot of beauty."
The houseplant's leaves will also begin to curl when it requires water, so it is another good choice for people who may forget to water their plants.
Another expert shared how to spot if houseplants are dying and how to save them.
