House plants

I love house plants but they don't seem to feel the same way about me as they always keel over on me and I have to get rid of them lol . I only have 3 in the house right now . I have 2 Cactus's and another one but I don't know the name of it . I know it will have flowers on it because I had one like it before but for the life of me can't remember what it is called . A friend took it up to me a couple of weeks ago when I was not home and dropped it off so I haven't got a chance to ask her what type it is . I have had just about every house plant you can think about at one time or another and ever one of them has keeled over within the year because of my lack of watering or over watering them . I really need to find a plant that tells me when it is thirsty and when it has had enough to drink and can tell me if it requires more or less light lol .

I like them but I dont have any now. I know my kitty would start munching on them. I am better safe than sorry. I'd like to get some that either cats dont like the taste of or are not toxic to them. I think there are a few that would meet that requirement but I dont know for sure which ones I would choose to fit those categories.

Right now mine are all outdoors. I have rubber tree, weeping fig( variegated) mother in law tonge (sanseveria), aloe, fiddle leaf fig, and several others I am drawing a blank on right now. Easter cactus, asparagus fern (sprengeri) Kalanchoe,pilea, philodendrums of various types, and nephthytis, and another common vine, but I am forgetting its name. It is time to think about bringing them in, though.

I don't have house plants. I don't have enough window space, the apartment is too small, and my cat would climb and eat the dang things. We have one plant at the house in AZ, and one of my husband's cats promptly ate a few leaves. We ended up putting it out on the back deck (the plant, not the cat!).

I do not mind house plants. I definitely prefer plants that I do not have to tend to a lot. I can get busy and don't always think about the plants so having plants around that I do not have to water often or trim makes it easier on me. Right now, I only have two house plants. I have an aloe plant my partner gave me and I have a bamboo plant that I bought several years ago that is still going strong. I don't have my bamboo here though I ended up leaving that at home. I may end up bring that here sometime though I'm not quite sure yet.

Hi ya Anne18 Well I must admit I'm not very good with house plants, I either forget to water them and they die or I water them too much and they then er um die! At the moment I have two small cacti (there were 3 originally). I am also trying to grow a christmas tree which is about an inch and a half now and is a bit wirey but I am hopeful. I also have a dragon tree plant I think it is called which I love very much. It does need re-potting which I shall do soon, when my mum comes to visit then she can help me because I am such a ham at these sort of things!

I like houseplants, but I don't have many. I have an aloe plant, that we actually use for medicinal reasons, a Christmas cactus, a peace lily and a philodinrin (sp?) that isn't doing very well since I transplanted and my cat decided it was a great bed. They are all in my bathroom, which has the most steady temperature and the most light.

I love house plants but don't have as many now as I did years back. At one time I had 120 house plants. Now I have 5 African violets, 3 Christmas cactus, an Iron Plant (some call them Mother-In-Law's tongue), 3 Peace Lilies, and 3 philodendrons.

You must have a much greener thumb that I do! I only have two - a couple of philodrendrens (sp?) - the one plant that even I can't kill!

hi anne, i like to have house plants in my home.. i have more house plants in my home. take care.

this is a subject near and dear to my heart. yes, i love houseplants. more so because i have no yard. now, i live on the second floor of an industrial building and have a screened-in wrap around porch. the only thing is that it is frightfully hot out there. in fact i only sit out there in the spring and fall. i have everything from cacti and jade plants, to lush green hanging baskets, to "trees". i have a big aloe plant in the kitchen, of course. i don't think i could ever have TOO many either. everyone knows i love plants so i receive many starts from them. i always take a plant for a housewarming present. usually one i have cared for and begun from one that i already have.

even i like plants and i like gardening and its my favourite hobby. at present i dont have more plants as i stay on first floor and i have only a balcony and i cant grow more plants. at present i have indoor one plant and a few small outside plants. last year i had two indoor plants and i had to go on a vacation to my home place and i kept those plants outside the house but due to snow it all got spoiled and this year i really didnt take any. but in my home place i have many and i really like planting and its a good timepass too. its really an interesting hobby of having plants, looking after them and really makes our house much beautier.

I love houseplants, i think they really brighten a place up, but unfortunately i don't have much luck with them! I do everything i'm supposed to, plant food, water etc, i even talk to them but they seem do die on me every time! The only success i have had is with some bamboo on my kitchen windowsill which is doing really well, other than that i have an orchid in my bathroom that i am hoping has just lost it's flower until next year but am not convinved it's not just given up on life altogether!! Hopefully one day i'll get the knack of it!! xxx

don't think so much dear. just think what are the good plants , and helpful plants , what are the kitchen plants, and put some ornamental plants near the entrance of the house , thats much only . don't plant a lot of plant , because to manage the plants it takes a lot of time.
