I had new windows in the last house that blocked the sunlight. Before that I had nice house plants after blocking the UV rays mine would die.
Don't if these windows are like that are not. Couldn't have plants as the little cat would eat them and throw up. May try a few one day. I do have a few bamboo stems and they are doing well.

We have nine house plants. We have a philodendron that's lasted over ten years in our house plus it came from my aunt's house. We also have a mother-in-law's tongue that we were given seven years ago as a start. There are some that we've killed. We do have a white poinsettia from last Christmas. That wasn't intentional.

I have none currently. I used to have lots, but this house is fairly dark and most plants die within a few weeks. I don't like Snake plants, but might get a philodendron.

I love house plants. Love the Hoya. It's easy and pretty but I don't like the odor when it flowers. Boston ferns, beautiful but I kill them. Just remember overwatering is the biggest houseplant killer. I have been hooked on all these different kinds of Begonias lately. I guess this means I'm old as I have always thought of them as old lady plants. The Home depot here gets some pretty nice and reasonably priced house plants. I love it. It smells like baby powder. And the droplets of nectar are incredibly sweet. I love how go all over the place. Through the blinds over the curtain rod,

I bought a snake plant and dieffenbachia for indoors, and citronella plant for outdoors today. I'm already all anxious and full of regret that I didn't research more. The indoor plants are not safe for cats, and the citronella which was meant to ward off mosquitoes apparently doesn't. I guess will just see how it goes.
