    Buy what you like, but first after researching what environment and care they need.  Once you know the name, Google is good.

    Rooms have much less light and less humidity than we humans think.

    I’ve a feeling the OP will soon be posting a link to a helpful website she ‘just happens to have found’ … she’s already had one spamming post removed this morning. 🙄

    So ... tell us about your home @alinashot037 .... in your initial post you describe it as both a house and an apartment ... which is it?  How much natural light is there?  What temperature range will the plants have to cope with? What is your furnishing style?  Do you want large foliage plants, groups or single specimens, or flowering plants on windowsills? And how much experience do you have in caring for house plants?  What have you grown before?

    Give us the information and we will be able to help you.

    As @Dovefromabove says you will need to provide a lot more detail to get any serious advice.
    You could well have space for a large Palm tree or just a small cactus - only you know  ;)

    just be wary of those that need humidity unless you're prepared to sit them in a gravel tray kept damp, or a steamy bathroom with enough light.
