Indoor plants for Dubai homes

Dubai homes and offices are air-conditioned for much of the year, so houseplants here live in cool, dry, often dim rooms rather than the humid conditions most care guides assume. These are the indoor plants that cope best with low light, dry air and the odd missed watering, with a plain guide to light, water and feeding for each. Choose by the light in your room first, then by how often you really water.
