Best Fast Growing Houseplants for Beginners

There is something particularly satisfying about a houseplant that produces a new leaf just when you thought nothing was happening. Fast-growing houseplants can transform an empty shelf, corner or balcony into a much greener space in surprisingly little time. They are also useful for beginners because visible growth provides an encouraging sign that the plant is responding well to its environment. But fast growth is never guaranteed. Light, watering, temperature, pot size and soil all influence how quickly an indoor plant develops. Choosing a naturally vigorous species is only the beginning.
