Default Scented plant for inside


"P. Alves" wrote in message

Hi everyone,

Looking for a scented plant to be grown inside with no direct light
(the room gets light from a huge window, but not directly to the
plant)... We want to put it in the upstairs hall and let it spread a
light and fresh scent around the stairs and first floor.

Any low maintenance suggestion?

Thanks in advance


No real scent but Aspidistras would fit he bill. There are several varieties
to choose from including a very nice slightly variegated leaved thing.
Unusual flowers grow at the base of the stems.
If you want to be a bit more exotic then Arisaema candidissimum fits the
bill.
This is one of the few common arisaemas that has a very delicate scent-the
rest smell like rotting goats.
