Visit your local nursery or garden center. Florists also sell houseplants and are very knowledgeable about their requirements. If you think you don t have a place for plants, look around a little bit. Sometimes the top of the refrigerator, book case, or piano, or the corner of a bathroom is just the right spot for a plant. Be sure to protect wood furniture from the water from a plant, though.
Houseplants don t have to be only green.
African violets, cyclamen, poinsettias, and azaleas are but a few of the plants that provide color during the dreary winter and early spring months. The leaves of the coleus plant are glorious shades of reddish pink year-round. Spring bulbs can be forced to bloom indoors from December through February, depending upon the bulb. Only your imagination limits the variety of houseplants you can enjoy. Since you control the environment, you can choose almost anything to grow indoors.
