No matter the size of your abode, a few plants can transform a place from dull to vibrant. While not everyone can have a vegetable garden or large verdant patio overflowing with bougainvillea, almost anyone can add a few select plants to their interior spaces to liven things up and purify your air.

Companies like The Sill, Bloomscape, and even Amazon will deliver all the ferns and monstera you could desire directly to your door. Without further ado, here are 15 of our favorite indoor plants you can order right now.
