Would you keep an indoor plant in your bedroom?

[aquaticneko]

Plants provide a purpose indoors. We try to keep them in all our rooms since they use up the oxygen and acts as natural filters for the air. It's nice to think that we have free solar air filters in our room that looks so pretty. We often have no room so I've actually hung up a few of our plants. This keeps them away from curious pets, or naughty kittens that like to chew. Also, be aware that some plants are toxic to pets.

Yes, the window is south facing. Don't over water them!

I thought they needed indirect sunlight though?

 

[Greenhorn]

Sure as long as they mind their own business . Maybe something exotic as it sometimes pretty gets tropical and steamy in there

The bedrooms in my house are all full of plants! It's a jungle in here!

Shhh! Nobody has told them that - so they don't know.

My leaves started to wrinkle and one had holes in it, almost looked burnt. I was told the holes were because of too much direct sunlight =. What do you think?

I'm no expert on them so can only go on 50+ years of experience.

Ours are in sunlight all day long (and we get quite a lot of sun even though we're in the UK - our 16 solar panels produce almost 4,000 kWh per year) and they've never suffered with wrinkling or holes.

I normally associate the burnt effect on plants with sunburn from getting drops of water on plants and acting as a magnifier. We never allow water to get on to the plants.

Hmm-OK . Thanks! Maybe I'll try another orchid . Is there a particular type you'd recommend?

 

[Bootsy]

Sorry. All the twenty orchids that we have are ones that have been given to us as presents (I've never worked out why they give us orchids!).

I have 10 pots in my room alone. I have three windows though. I love it. It's relaxing and I find it very homish. If you know what I mean

I have a creeping Jenny in my bedroom. If it starts looking droopy, I water it and leave the light on in the bathroom where I temporarily leave the plant. The light perks it up and I put it back on my dresser.

It's because you can keep them alive!! (From what I've read, orchids seem incredibly picky!)

Never would keep a plant in my bedroom, they would turn green from envy when I undress.

We don't do anything but water them once a fortnight.

I have large windows in my bedroom, so I have a few plants in there... I love having plants in my private rooms... they bring me peace and tranquility
