Smaller versions, such as bay windows and kitchen greenhouse windows, are attractive features in new homes and can be added to any home. The added-on areas are great places to grow an exotic and tropical plant collection. Whatever the purpose of your sunroom, you'll probably also want some plants in there for decoration. If you love plants, consider yourself blessed if your house has a glassed-in addition.
Plants provide privacy and soften a room's structural lines.
In a sun room addition, you can grow tropical, exotic flowering plants year-round that would do poorly outside or would not bloom at all. When winter temperatures drop to the low 30s, your solarium will remain a constant tropical climate. Plants to avoid are fast-growing vines that can take over an area in no time. Of course, you do have some control by regular pruning and by keeping plants in containers, so you can still have the fast-growing passion vine or the snail vine. Also, choose plants that are in proportion to the space that you have available.
