Can I try to grow camellia, gardenia and

Thanks a lot for your help!

None of these are good choices for indoor plants with maybe the
exception of the gardenia. There is a variety that can be grown
successfully inside. It is small and wouldn't be in anything larger
than a 6" pot. The name escapes me right now but in any case I
wouldn't recommend it to a new gardener. What does very well in the
bay area are bromeliad and begonias.
