I grow a lot of plants indoors, and the limiting factor is almost always light levels. If your space for growing has a large west or south facing window, you're in great shape! You will be able to grow most plants.<p>However, East or North facing windows will be able to grow low light plants, or need full spectrum (5000k) lighting.<p>Easy bright light plants include succulents, pony tail palms, avocados, bananas, and most herbs.<p>Plants that tolerate or thrive in low light are pothos, spider plants, parlor palms, the bromeliads, snake plants, and english ivy.<p>Of these, I suggest a spider plant, they're very hardy, nearly impossible to kill, and even don't mind being a little root bound.<p>Succulents require more patience, but are also fairly easy. Be sure to not overwater, and make sure they have enough drainage! Some indoor gardeners grow theirs in a mix of gravel and pine bark, in order to completely drain, and just fertilize every watering.<p>The most important thing is don't try orchids at first. Finicky things.
