Default Indoor Plants - favorites for care and appearance

What are some of your favorite indoor plants under normal lighting appearance -- in terms of "ease of care" and appearance?

Thanks!

I love Crotons (Codaieum variegatum) for indoors - as long as you water them once a week and give them a window, they are cheerful and lovely to look at.

Lynn, do you have any pictures?

I am growing Adonidia and Foxtail palms as houseplants...although they are just seedlings at this day and time. It will be like a little slice of Florida in my own home! Plus, when I grow up, they will be the perfect size for my own pad.

Oh, by the way, every houseplant I own goes outside in summer. They seem to like the change in temps, humidity, and sunlight. By the end of winter...the appear to need it!!!

Gosh Dean, you sound like quite the palm guy. Maybe we could trade some palms for nana's.

Love clerodendrons..thomsoniae and ugadense, plus all my tropicals from the patios and pool area come inside...plumerias, hibiscus, alamanda, mandevillea, bougainvillea,alocasia and colocasia, Siam Ruby and Dwarf Cavendish nanas, clematis, adenium obesum, tropical water lilies. Gets kind of crowded!
