These were the UK’s favourite houseplant of 2001, showing how us Brits love something pretty with a bit of colour! These plants are a great gift, because they’re loved by anyone of any age. They have fuzzy leaves with purple, pink, or white flowers on top. It’s important to pop the pot in saucer of water (about every week) rather than water the soil, and make sure you tip out any water left in the saucer after an hour.
