They may be hanging or growing vertically, they may have elongated or rounded leaves. The pointed leaves are charming and can decorate both the outside and internal environments, but depending on the plant avoid putting them next to children as they can hurt.

Therefore they should be kept in places that the sun does not reach directly, at least one meter away from sunlight. However, it is always beneficial for plants to get some sunlight from time to time, so they can be placed next to a sunny window to absorb the sun's rays over a period.
