I love houseplants, but sadly cannot keep too many with a plant-munching cat and two rambunctious kids in the house. I'm pretty much limited to high shelves and terrariums! Yours are so pretty, though.Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-68205851834964777102014-02-01T20:23:02.545-05:002014-02-01T20:23:02.545-05:00Thank you Donna.

They are in a southwestern exposure so they get lots of good light and I don't have to worry too much about insect pests. They do well where they are so I only bring them outside if they need cleaning or spraying and then they come back in. Once the weather warms I will be back outside in the real gardens!Lee@A Guide to Northeastern Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208392136967108192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-16061986983514588672014-02-01T20:20:38.139-05:002014-02-01T20:20:38.139-05:00Hi Astrid.

I am so used to always having them for some green inside.

Lazy, I guess. But yours are lovely, especially the blooms on the Jade Plant.Astridhttp://astridsgardendesign.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-26225876862550090982014-02-01T13:33:52.734-05:002014-02-01T13:33:52.734-05:00Try the "ZZ" Plant Angie.

Orchids are beautiful.. I tried them a couple of times with not a whole lot of success.

...I never realized that a jade plant flowered, Lee!<br />It is really beautiful.<br />Most of our houseplants are orchids, and this is the time of year that they bloom.<br />So wonderful to have so much color when everything is so gray outside.<br /><br />Have a fantastic weekend!Lisa Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06638444295223502727noreply@blogger.com
