Indoor growing is something that all plant lovers want to do. Who wouldn't want to see your favorite plant when you first wake up in the morning or enjoy it while relaxing near your computer or television ? The fact is that all plants naturally originate in outdoor environments and truly NO plant is suitable for indoor growing. The good news is that there are quite a few plants that can endure low light living or become acclimated to an indoor environment. The main thing to consider for indoor gardening is humidity and temperature. Just about every plant loves humidity so misting your indoor plants will benefit them greatly. Giving them enough light will also encourage excellent growth and long life. Both of my grandmothers always had indoor plants and did well. Another crucial thing to remember is to not over water them unless the plants are from a boggy type area. There are not too many plants that like "wet feet" so allowing the soil to dry out in-between waterings is essential for best indoor gardening as well. Please do research about a certain plant if you are not sure whether it is suitable for indoor living. Some palms are sold as indoor plants when the truth is that they tolerate the low light conditions. Misting these plants frequently will definitely make these plants happy! Washing you plants with warm soapy water and rinsing them off (believe it or not) will also help keep away pests like spider mites and other undesirables. There are also soap sprays available at your local garden center or online stores. It is not difficult to keep plants healthy and happy indoors and is why many are sold as such.

Chartreuse Philodendron Scandens 'Aureum' - I found this awesome colored bright plant a few weeks ago and couldn't resist. The heart shaped leaves begin a creamy white and grow into bright yellow or blinding lime green. Even brighter than Xanthosoma Lime Zinger! I always loved how the variegated and green varieties get very large leaves while climbing trees and trellises, so this one will just blind anyone who dares to look. They will do well as an indoor houseplant as will the variegated pothos so you northern folks can easily have pleasure in this one as well. Outdoor growers in warmer climates (Zone 8b - 11) can experience this magnificent plant climb their tree trunks, walls, patio trellis or anywhere you decide. This also makes an excellent hanging basket plant. Protected under the tree's shade hammock from frost, it should retain its leaves to continue growing the next season. IF left unprotected, it will most likely lose its leaves but retain its structure to begin a fresh set the following season. Cant really go wrong here!

Prayer Plant - "Erythroneura" - Also known by some as the 10 Commandment plants. It is called the prayer plant because in low light or darkness, the leaves fold upward resembling praying hands. This species has pretty red veins that run in uniform beside the peacock markings up the leaf. The back of leaf is a vivid purplish or maroon red. They grow to about 1-2 feet tall and as wide with many leaves. They are fast growing and easy to care for. they take medium light and don't do well in direct sun. These plants are great for the folks who have a hard time growing plants. if neglected, they will live. If it gets thin and leggy looking, you can snip it down to the crown and it will grow back. Very hard to kill and just a beautiful plant.
