The kitchen is often the hub of the house, so a great place to have lots of plants. Try growing your favourite herbs on the windowsill, for easy access whilst cooking. Choose plants that enjoy humidity and are able to tolerate heat.

Plants we recommend for a kitchen:

Aglaonema (Chinese Evergreen)
Loves a dull spot and needs little attention

Aloe vera on hand, if you burn yourself on the oven

on your kitchen worktop
