Arrowhead plant is perfect for indoors or out - so versatile!  Indoors this plant tolerates low light.  Also known as syngonium or nephthytis, it is essentially a tropical climber or trailing plant, depending on what works for you.

Also known as Sansevieria, this plant can tolerate dry periods. Their leaves are their showpiece, with sword like foliage that grows to 30-50 cm tall.

An indoor plant they thrive with lots of light, though no direct sun. They are great in the bathroom, home or office and tolerate fluorescent light well.

A forgiving plant that can tolerate neglect. 

In the wild the Mistletoe Cactus survives in forests and grows from trees, cascading like a fern.  Mostly they flower in Spring.  In Summer & Autumn some produce berries.
