How well are you at keeping things alive. I have a spider plant, bamboo and another one of those plants that grow like crazy, all you have to do is cut a branch off and it will grow another plant, one of those...
anyways, those have all lived, and I've killed several cactuses, so you could be death and they'd flourish.
I've heard aloe vera plants are easy too (and usefull). My grandma always had lots of those.
But I guess none of those are pretty smelling or tastey.
As for scented flowers, it depends what sort you want.
Or a little chilli bush can be nice.
i'd like to plant an indoor garden
But the sun moves across the southern sky, not the northern...
It may well not be directly north, and even if it is, although it might not get direct sun light it may well get lots of light if it is not over shaddowed at any point during the day. Or she is in the Southern Hemisphere.
anyway, it's still quite a sunny window, not as sunny as being south facing but much more than being stuck against a brick wall. i think the fact i'm quite high above everything else as well has something so do with it...
so does anyone have any tips on how to keep houseplants?
Yeah, and add water frequently.
Christ, I'm certainly no Green Fingers... I can kill any plant.
My aunt who used to water her indoor plants every day has started doing the same thing my mum does and she's noticing a difference.
I mean, I don't know really cos I don't water my mum plants so im only going by what she has says and what I have noticed. But maybe you could try it and see if that works?!
seeing as i've just been given a tomato plant, its not really going to survive very well without water
Aren't they though They can be almost dead and you water it once and it will come back to life too! I got given a baby one from a friend a good year or so ago and its just huge (and still alive) now. Making baby's of its own.
