Title: Do you have house plants?
Post by: greenthumbjan on March 25, 2014, 10:46:57 am
I have to put all my plants in my kitchen and on my front porch because of my kitten, JC, she needs to taste them! I like my vines; and my plants make my air in my house smell good.

I do really well with outdoor plants, vegetables, bushes and trees, but I have never been able to look after indoor plants very well. It would appear I tend to over water them and give them too much attention. My kids have just purchased venus fly trap seeds and these should be sprouting any time. Although with me as their mentor, I can only hope it works out alright.

I don't have any right now. I used to grow snake plants (mother-in-law's tongue) and philodendron because it's hard to kill them. LOL

No plants inside my house. All are outside. It is hard to keep up watering them if they are inside. But that was just my own opinion.

I don't have any houseplants, but I grow a veggie garden with sunflowers.  I used to have houseplants, years ago, but I lost my green thumb then got pets.  :rose: :clover:  :cat: :cat: :cat: :cat:

I used to have a houseful of plants and truly enjoyed tending to them.  Then, for some reason all of a sudden I couldn't keep an indoor plant alive to save my soul!  For probably 20 years or more I had no inside plants.  About 8 years or so ago I bought a little lucky bamboo plant and I still have it!  I now actually have 3 of them and they are all doing pretty well.  Hopefully I won't lose them as I do enjoy inside plants.

I have plants indoors, would like a lot more as time goes on. But I also love to putter with a garden and my yard. Just waiting until time to plant.

I agree. I enjoy my house plants and they have the benefit of cleaning the air as well.  :thumbsup:
A couple of the really big ones will be taking to the outdoors soon for the summer.

I am in transition right now and my plants are going to go in 2 places right no. I don't have room for all of them in my van for transport. I can't give them up!

I have lots of house plants and although my little dog is always up to mischief that is one thing she hasn't bothered with. I'm very thankful because so many house plants are poisonous for animals.

I really love house plants but I always kill them, I think my cactus even died!  :-\ But for some reason I always buy them every Spring and start all over again.

I like house plants, but they don't do well in my condo (poor sunlight and high dry heat).

But I have spider plants and ivy in my summer home that do well because I can put them outside when it gets warm. 

They survive the winter with a minimum of care - those that don't survive don't get replaced.

I have all kinds of house plants. Most of them are from my Mothers' funeral 6 years ago. I love plants and also love to garden outside. My mother was the same way, you could hardly get through her house from all of the plants.

I have several green plants in my house.  I have a Swedish ivy plant that has grown down to the floor and a snake plant (I think that's what it's called) and also a peace plant.

I have plants in my home, especially in the living room and kitchen. The indoor air quality is so much better, because of the plants.,

I just love the warmth house plants bring to the home. It just feels much more cozy. I think I'll add some more ferns to my collection.

I don't, but my wife has our house looking like a jungle. She has several over 7 feet high and lots of little ones too. My favorite is the big Christmas Cactus with all it's gorgeous red blooms.
