FOLIAGE HOUSEPLANTS are popular, creating color and interest over a long period, with only old age or neglect spoiling their display and shortening life expectancy. Many plants, such as variegated ivies and aspidistras, have long been living features in homes. Others are less hardy, but well worth growing.
