You can always rely on a plant specialist or plants service company to help you select plants that have a compact growth habit and an abundance of foliage.

Be certain to look for healthy plants that are uniform in color, without brown or yellow discoloration on the plant's tips and without scars or cracks.
Pest problems can be a nuisance to you and your plants, so carefully inspect the plants for signs of insects or diseases. Speckling on the leaves may indicate spider mite damage, curling of leaves are caused by aphids, and small bumps on the stems or underside of the leaves are signs of scale. Yellow or brown leaves, rotting stems, and brown, soft roots may indicate plant disease problems. Be sure that the soil in the container has a good color and is not heavily compacted. Roots of the plant should not be growing out the bottom of the pot.
