Spicy's Container garden

Garden Type: Container | Sun: Indoor | Soil: Potting Mix

I LOVE houseplants. However, I have four cats in my house, so my houseplants stay in my classroom for the fall and winter months.

I am slowly growing a collection. I can’t resist picking up a new houseplant every time I visit a nursery, garden or garden center. Each plant fascinates me.

In the Spring and Summer, my houseplants come home and live on my porch. They completely transform the outside of my house. They create a little piece of heaven for me.

    You have some beautiful tropicals and ornamentals. I was looking for your current coleus planting, but I did not see it. :)
