Have to say I would love more but I am cut from my mothers cloth and would end up killing them.
Do you have any? Where? What type? :happy72:

I've also got a money plant which is doing well but doesn't like the cold window sill in winter time

lots of them, in most rooms and in the hall too, even T has one that he looks after himself, they are very good for you to live with as they absorb toxic emissions, like from computers, tvs, microwaves, phones, cleaning products.......... and they look lovely and make me happy. I have a couple of swiss cheese plants, a couple of parlour palms, some peace lillies, some spider plants (particuarly good near computers), a prayer plant, a couple of ferns, a couple of yuccas and a mother in laws toungue and maybe some others I can't remember. We also grow things on the windowsill a lot, have got beans growing in a pint glass as a race at the moment and next week I'll start of some peas.

I haven't got any houseplants. I have got some seedling tomato plants at the moment, but whether they will manage to survive to be big enough to be planted out is anyone's guess!
Nope none they die really quickly

I love houseplants. I am cut from my mother’s clothe. She had 'green fingers' we had alot of plants when I was growing up and grow our own vegetables too. I still keep allot of houseplants I love them in the kitchen window it the kitchen feel calm. I also have a few ferns in the bathroom.Frens seem to love the mist from the shower.
The best tip I have is to actually give the plants attention. I usually spend Saturday or Sunday afternoons looking at each plant to see what’s going on. Removing dead leaves also helps to stop the spread of possible infections...and they dont always need water.Check the soil to see how dry it is.

I have 2 above my bookshelf in the lounge. Just simple grasses. I am freezing most of the time even when everyone else is sweating their bits off so anything other than the grasses wouldnt last very long as i found last 3 times i got anything else.
