There are a lot of ways for finding the name of a house plant such as searching in a plant index AZ with pictures.

Although, we tried to create a comprehensive collection of house plants names and pictures, but due to the following reason you may not find your favourite plant among them:
every indoor plant has a lot of common names, although we tried to mention almost all common names, you may be failing to find your plant by one of its rare names.
Searching plants by their botanical or scientific names is more accurate than common names, so in the following collection, we mentioned the scientific name of every indoor plant too. However, most people don’t aware of scientific names and cannot find their houseplants based on them.
In addition, the scientific names may change over time and only botanists follow the updates.
Most people identify plants based on their shape and colour of leaves and flowers. However, the shape and colour of leaves may change in various conditions. Especially lighting has a significant impact on the colour of leaves.
In addition, most indoor plants will flower only for a short time, so you may spot it when it isn’t in its flowering period. Hence identifying a plant based on the above characteristics may be difficult.
What you should do if you couldn’t find the name or picture of your favourite plant:
I hope you win to finding the name and picture of your in the following list but if you couldn’t find it don’t worry, there are a lot of easiest ways that you can get help from them.
