Nature is freaking magical.
1. Silver Vase Plant
A perennial that prefers bright light indoors. It sometimes takes a year or two to flower fully, but it grows easily and can last a surprisingly long time.

2. Monstera deliciosa
Matisse knew the deal. A dramatic climbing plant that can thrive even in indirect light. It loves the heat, though, so make sure it's somewhere at least somewhat warm in the winter.

3. Fire Pencil Cactus
Also known as Firesticks. It's native to Africa and grows really fast as long as you keep it in full sun.

4. Starfish succulent
Colloquially called a succulent, but maybe not even a succulent? Still amazing, though. Unfortunately these guys are really rare (mostly found in Peru and China) but if you're feeling super adventurous you can order the seeds yourself.

6. River Spiderwort
Technically an invasive species, but also regularly kept as a houseplant. Also known as Small-Leaf Spiderwort, Inch Plant, Wandering Trad, Wandering Willie and Wandering Gypsy.
More info here.
7. Staghorn Fern
Basically a vegetarian-friendly version of a moose head on the wall. So cool. One thing to keep in mind is that you should be regularly soaking the mount to give the fern enough moisture.

8. Vermont African Violet
9. Sago Palm
Actually a cycad and not a palm. Cycad's have been around since dinosaurs — literally — and sago palms specifically are sturdy but grow pretty slowly.
