Ferns. I love this family of plants, with their lush green tropical growth. When I hear people say they kill ferns, I tell them to remember where these plants come from in nature and try to duplicate those conditions. While we can't create a rainforest in our living rooms, we can give ferns regular watering once a week, bright but indirect light and weekly misting with a water bottle to imitate the humid conditions they love. Look for the traditional Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) or lemon button fern (Nephrolepis cordifolia); though not technically ferns, asparagus fern (Asparagus densiflorus) and foxtail fern (Asparagus densiflorus 'Meyersii') also make great houseplants. Tip: If you wind up almost killing your fern, simply cut it back and resume watering; you'll probably see renewed growth fairly soon.
Palm trees. If you want a dramatic vertical element with a tropical feel, reach for the palms. Not all palms do well indoors, so it pays to know which ones do. The best indoor palms are kentia palm (Howea forsteriana), sentry palm (Howea belmoreana), lady palm (Rhapis excelsa) and parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans). Avoid majesty palm (Ravenea rivularis), even though it is widely sold as an indoor palm, queen palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) and butterfly palm (Dypsis lutescens). Most indoor palms will enjoy a steady supply of water, light fertilizer once a month and bright but indirect light.
