Best flowering plants to grow indoors...

 
Hello everyone, great for you have here.


I have become interested in growing flowers indoors. I want to grow them
in pots and planters and keep them indoors on the windowsill etc. I
don't have a garden to move them to etc.


Are there any obvious species to start with?

Thanks muchly,

Rob.

"Spider Plants" are the easiest to grow indoors. The biggest problem with
house plants is bugs in the house. Once you get the bugs in the house it
can be hard to get rid of them. So spray the plants with insecticide soaps
once in a while.

Green leafy plants with no flowers tend to do best indoors. Some leafy
plants with color can be grown indoors like "coleuses" can be done. Good
luck?

Depends on the light available.

For almost no light required and reliable blooming,
Christmas Cactus works for me.  In a north facing
window I get blooms from November to March.

Under lights African Violets bloom almost constantly.
They may work for you in a window.  East or West facing
is best.

I have a Snake Plant that blooms every 4 or 5 years.
The flowers aren't much to look at but they smell nice.

African violets are the easiest. You can choose from a broad rage of
petal types and colors, too.
