How Many Indoor Plants do You Have?

[ReadmeByAmy]

We had Snake plants and Bamboo palm plants as our indoor plants. We just put each of them in every corner of the house. This kind of plant can survive even they are not place in a direct sunlight but we see to it that once week we will put them outside the house to get a natural sunlight.

I have an aloe vera plant sitting at my desk. I keep moving so I can't have too many with me, but this aloe plant's been with me since forever.

I am being overtaken with Christmas cacti! I have three (one on kitchen window sill, one in guest bedroom, and one in living room). All three need to be lifted and divided--again. I think a run to the local nursing home, which allows low-maintenance plants in the patients' rooms, is needed. Two crotons will be moving inside later this month
Anyone else have a jungle in the making?

At last count I have a little over a 100 house plants. I have every thing from Orchids to Cactus most will go back out side in the spring once it starts to stay in the mid 50s at night.

had to bring them in last night. of course after a good spraying of insect stuff. now have to arrange them through the house. one needs to be major thinning, so have pots and soil. back outside with that one today to thin it and repot it. hope to find takers for the extra. Anyone live local to me, wants a pretty dark purple leaf begonia? Live in Chester county, PA.
Also next year I will have to thin out my Queens Tears, anyone for that one.

My goodness Fernsdaddy, that's a lot of house plants. It must look very plush and luxurious in your place. How do you keep up with the watering? I try and at present have a Parlour Palm and an Apidistra which are doing okay because they are bullet proof apparently. I have a lovely pony tail but it seems to be dying. I have it outside under cover at present in the hope that it ill come good. I've fed it and have my fingers crossed.

I'd love a Queens Tears Esther. I'm going to keep my eyes open for one. I love the pic you posted of yours awhile ago.

Shame you don't live closer I'd give you half of it this week.

come to think about it, have two new neighbors up the street, maybe I can give them a pot of the begonia's for their home. They are young, maybe have not gathered plants inside yet.

 

[marlingardener]

Esther, there are two house-warming, welcome-to-the-neighborhood gifts that are always welcome--fresh home-baked bread and house plants. Both need instructions and identifications. If you give them a card with care instructions, I'm sure they will love and treasure their begonias. Plus, you may develop new gardening neighbors!

 

[Esther Knapicius]

It will be a nice gesture in any event. I have passed their house going to work, so far they don't seem to be in a garden zone place yet, but who knows.

I have about 4 indoor plants. I love my spider plant, jade plant, bamboo and pothos. I love the pothos plant because it is so easy to grow. I don't have that great a green thumb when it comes to indoor plants. I need easy to care for plants. My house faces west and I only have one window that faces south. I love the way plants can warm up a space and make it feel homey. I also love how certain plants purify the air.

 

[SucculentsGalore]

So far I have two! I am very excited to have these new additions. I am thinking of growing a few herbs in my kitchen as well, maybe some thyme, basil, or parsley. I have been successful with my succulents so far, but I wouldn't go as far as to say I have a green thumb just yet.

 

[claudine]

I keep buying new indoor plants, I can't stop myself, it's like an addiction, haha Currently, I have 22 of them and a lot of miniature roses

 

[Larisa]

I have more than 150. I do not consider those which sleep. I love, wash and water them. They like music.
