Ideas Needed

Your rating: None
Now that we are truely settled into our new home, I am wanting to add a little foliage to my interior as well.... I have this empty corner in my kitchen that a corner bakers rack will fit PERFECTLY in! Our new house has lots of windows, though the corner doesnt get alot of sun... early morning. Right now the only plants I have inside is a mini rose that Billy go me for v-day and some walking iris starts... Any ideas on what I could put  there that doesnt require alot of sun? Also I have some fake ivy hanging from my 2 corner glass covered shelf things... I dont know what to do with those either since the glass is beveled and you cannot see into them....

yay!

I am making my list! lol

Bromeliads would be a good

Bromeliads would be a good choice and African Violets.  Just my 2 cents.  Dale

If it has more babies I'll try to remember to save one for both of you.

Another good one

POLKA DOT PLANT HYPOESTES is another good houseplant for filtered light.

I've got pathos coming out

I've got pathos coming out of my eye balls. It tolerates tons of neglect and will do fine. So will philodendron...both of which I have. If you're not looking for a hanging plant, Chinese Evergreen is nice. Begonias generally do well with filtered light like that and so may some orchids.

Dizzy, do you have a picture of your hoya? I'd love to see what it looks like!

Indoor plants?

I really enjoy the Sansevieria trifasciata 'Hahnii' - I have - doesn't require much light and even had babies in our not too sunny home. Spider plants seem to do well without bright light also.

Mawnature has some of the prettiest wandering jew I've ever seen - lots of variation in the colors!  It can be happy indoors too.
