  Small plants suit modern compact living spaces. They can easily be transported between locations and swapped around to decorate homes as well as offices, where they add humidity and remove pollutants, according to an article by Charlie Nardozzi of the National Gardening Association. Indoor and outdoor plants for small pots include tiny succulents, vines and dwarf varieties of popular larger plants.
  
  

Ivy

• Ivy is a hardy evergreen vine with plain or variegated three- to five-lobed green leaves, depending on the variety. Ivy produces green-tinged white flowers in late summer and black berries in the autumn. Needlepoint ivies and other small specimens suit small pots; they quickly produce shoots and climb any available structures including brickwork and railings on porches and filing cabinets and bookcases inside buildings. Ivies with small leaves are less aggressive than their larger garden relations.
  
  

African Violet

• African violets are small, hardy plants with dark-green, fuzzy leaves that produce blooms year-round. Flowers vary from the most familiar pale lilac or deep purple shades to a wide range of other colors. Varieties include multicolor violets, double and ruffled blooms. Tiny African violets, less than 3 inches across, are perfect for even the smallest pots; standard sizes grow to over 16 inches in diameter. A trailing variety of African violet suits small pots suspended from the ceiling. Care of your African violet involves ensuring the plants never sit in water. Water from below and always empty the excess from their trays within one hour. Brush leaves gently with a soft paintbrush to remove dirt and dust, and soak up any water from the leaves with a tissue or permanent spots will appear. Choose a sunny window ledge for African violets, one without direct sun and protected from droughts. A violet that is not blooming may require more light; one with light yellow patches on the leaves is suffering from sunburn.
  
  

Stonecrop

• Stonecrop is a cascading hardy succulent plant. It has silver and blue colored leaves with white tips and large white, red, pink or yellow star-shaped flowers that bloom between summer and fall. They are popular in winter and in festive plant displays since the "dusting" of white resembles snow. The smallest varieties are approximately 2 inches in height, suiting very small pots. Stonecrop requires a minimal amount of water and happily sits in full sun on a window ledge or deck table.
