Amount of sunlight, exposure, artificial lighting, benign neglect or TLC, flowering or non-flowering, and your location. Plants are odd; sometimes they grow more than you want. So you prune. (Do you have animals?).
Partial sunlight, natural lighting, easy to care for, flowering or non-flowering (no preference), location – zone 6b (an hour away from Detroit, Mich.), one cat (that has been around floor plants before and didn’t bother with them).

Rubber tree plant, croton, philodedron trained on a trellis.
I love my ZZ plant – it tolerates low light, abuse and neglect and thrives. They seem to get to about 2.5 to 3 feet tall.
If you have room for a fuller plant, the peace lily is an easy keeper.
PS I’m afraid the ZZ plant is toxic, if you cat should decide to become a plant eater. Mine is out of reach of the cats.
I have a peace lily that I have tried to kill on numerous occasions and it just won’t die.
@jmah: Drop by your local nursery or Horticultural center. They will have advice and houseplants at hand.
Thanks gail it’s the auto spell check on this damn iphone
Gooch; I laughed and did notice that o and i are next to each other. There is also the possibility of fucus, (u is next to i) as in, what, a Ford Fucus?
Aren’t ficuses (fici?) the ones that drop their leaves a day after you move them.
