Does your house have plants?

[Lizzie]

Hello Everyone,

If you are like me I really enjoy having a few plants dotted around my home. I now have a little tradition in that every December I get a amaryllis plant which I grow from its bulb. Usually it takes a month or two until the flower opens and by this time I have usually forgotten which colour it is - so it is a lovely surprise. I also think I am getting the hang of keeping orchids, as far I know what to expect when all the flowers drop off! 🙂

Here is my amaryllis from last year:

Do you have any house plants in your house or listing (if seperate)? Are you green-fingered? Perhaps you have some tips or suggestions on which varieties make good indoor plants? 🙂

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Lizzie

@Lizzie Its Dracaena Marginata or dragon plant 🙂

Indoor plants, very Easy to take care. I have a few of those plants.

[Lizzie]

Aw this is so good to know thank @Kim-and-Jen0. @Cormac0, it appears to be a Dragon Plant. 🙂

My colleague will be pleased to know it is easy to look after! 🙂 @Kim-and-Jen0, how much do you water your dragon plant? 

[Kim-and-Jen0]

@Lizzie

I didnt water it much, only when the soil dry. I killed one because of over watered 😞 

but this plants are cheap and easy to take care, better underwater than over water it.

Aww perfect @Kim-and-Jen0, this is very handy. I will let him know that he is on the right path...he may have green fingers yet! 🙂

Hi Lizzie

Is it a snake plant?

Has anybody any pointers on setting up a herb garden, 

Light or shade?

Raised bed?

Peat or clay?

IMy Kalancho plant which is still flowering in the winter sunshine. It has had flowers constantly since I bought it in November.

Oo @Graham-And-Michelle0, this is a very pretty plant, it must love sitting next to window. It looks quite sunny there, but it has a little bit of shade from your blinds, is it hard to look after? 🙂

We love plants. Inside we have aloe, jade, ZZ, snake plants, palm and Hoya. We ask guest to smell, admire and talk to our plants - but to resist watering them..
