What are good house plants?
Coleus, tradescantia are easy to grow, spider plant, money tree, Ficus bejamina, schefflera all can be grown


with no exp. at all





Coleus of all colours potted together stands out a real indoor winner (for colour have to do little sunlighting sitting)
Reply:Angel wing begonia---There is information on the web about them that you can look up, to see if they may be what you are looking for.

Reply:Try planting a small indoor herb garden. They smell great and some (like thyme and rosemary) even have pretty flowers. They are very easy to grow and take care of, and most will be safe for kids and animals. (Check online or with a garden center first to be sure.) You could even plant some catnip especially for the cat. And as an added bonus, you will have a steady supply of fresh herbs for cooking. Good luck!
