Let's take a look at the Chestnut; its common native habitat is in the swamp; however, this plant will help brighten up your area and requires frequent watering but needs only a small amount of indirect sunlight, which is perfect for indoors. If you tend to over-water your plants, then this plant works out perfectly for you. This Guiana Chestnut is available for purchase online at Amazon. It is also commonly known as the money tree just because of its unique braided trunk, which is something that will stick out in your home and make your friends go; oh, what a great plant. This plant is excellent for growing indoors throughout the year. It purifies the air, which is lovely if you're indoor working all day; it requires indirect sunlight, so perfect for people who may live in an apartment or condo or a house that has a lot of trees.

As a person who has tried to have succulents and overwater them, I would suggest trying the Peace Lily. The Peace Lily naturally filters out most of the toxins in the air, which is excellent, and it will brighten up your home with its beautiful white flowering. This plant is affordable and easy to care for, so this is one of my favorites because you can't go wrong with this one, and I love giving them friends and family as a gift at housewarming parties.

The Snake Plant is uniquely colored since it looks a bit like a gardener snake in reality, and it's perfect for by the front door or foyer area because it grows straight up with a slightly feathery look. This plant requires minimal watering; it could go for weeks without water; make sure that the soil doesn't completely dry out between waterings because it could cause the plant to die. This plant also thrives in low light, making it ideal as an indoor plant for that purpose alone.

The Chinese Evergreen is probably one of the prettier indoor plants just because of the coloring of the leaves. It does not require a lot of sunlight and can thrive in low light and even artificial light of your home. You must keep the soil slightly moist, watering it once a week or twice a week. It also is a great air purifier, and it does grow very slowly, so you don't have to worry about changing the pot frequently with this plant.

The Calathea is my grandmother's favorite plant for the indoors because of the uniqueness of the leaves that change from purple, green, pink, and red it is doesn't need a lot of watering, only moist soil. It's a beautiful house plant that works well in low light or artificial lighting; in fact, it's best to avoid bright light.

These house plants are a great addition to your home and are at many of Atlanta's local nurseries or online.  Please share with me some of your favorite houseplants by tagging @agentcate33 on Instagram.
