spidra's Living a Sheltered Life garden

Garden Type: Indoor | Sun: Indoor | Soil: Potting Mix I'm Organic!

Few are true houseplants. Most are things that need a more controlled environment than I can provide outdoors. However, the temperature ranges inside this Victorian house aren’t ideal, either.

    nice selection Spidra. Do some of these plants go outside for a holiday occasionally? I have very little luck with indoor plants …

    Thanks, Harvester. No, I rarely take the plants out because I’m afraid of introducing new pests to the home environment. I’d say I don’t have much luck with my houseplants, either, but it’s due to making bad choices for the kind of environment I have. For instance, the maidenhair ferns can’t take the temperature extremes.
