I love house plants.  I have many kinds. They smell so good.
When it comes to watering them do you water them with regular water or bottled. Before water was so bad I have had great things with our plants. My son and I love plants but now our plants do not live long on faucet water.

 :)yes, mostly of the same mother plant.  Know any on that would like some?  This coming season I will be adding more flowering plants.   Bagonias.  They are edible and taste great.  Use them in place of lettuce salads.

Not anymore... We use to have a plant (forgot what it was) and a cactus... The plant we had before produce a lots of gnats, we eventually throwed it away when we moved... Should've did the old vingar jar trick to get rid of the gnats tho

No I don't have any houseplants because I did live with my sons and their cats and we were always afraid they would eat something that would harm them but now I live by myself and have been thinking about getting some houseplants although I don't have much of a green thumb lol.   :rose:

I have some house plants and am planning on getting more as the years go by. When i lived on my own i had a lot, and ended up giving some away when i got married because the house we lived in just was not right for house plants. For me i would really happy t have enough to look like a jungle, but hubby is not as thrilled about it So am having to keep it low key right now and will slowly  put more in.  :rose: :rose: :rose:

Yes, I love house plants.  I have Peace Lilies that are very easy to take care of.  They continue to grow and strive as long as they receive sunlight and are watered properly.  :)

I have a number of house plants in my sunroom and that's it for the house.  They seem to love it out there.  My cacti also bloom every year.  I thought my new kitten would get into them, but he's mostly avoiding them now, thank God! :rose:

When it comes to watering them do you water them with regular water or bottled. Before water was so bad I have had great things with our plants. My son and I love plants but now our plants do not live long on faucet water.

I save rain water and put a few drops of liquid fertilizer in it. My plants all seem very happy.

They also have the added benefit of cleaning the air in my house. How awesome is that!  :rose:

I love house plants.  I have many kinds. They smell so good.
I love having plants in my home.  I keep some of them outside during the spring, summer and fall. My only problem is that I have to spray them with poison to kill the scorpions that crawl in the soil while they are outside. I have seen them crawl out of my plants when I bring them in before the first freeze. I learned to spray them first, them bring them indoors!

I have house plants but the one I love is spider plants but when I try to keep one no matter what I do they die. I have had advice from other people but no matter what they are gone. I also have plant books but I have tried it all. So I love what I have and have them all over the house.
