Hi
My mum has a good sized conservatory 12 ft by 12 ft at least
We are on the west coast of Scotland - looking over the sea
but the room is almost part of the house
The bottom 3 foot is double block work and it is double glazed and the door
from the well heated house is always open
I know absolutely nothing about indoor plants these day
our house next door has 3 ft thick stone walls and they all face north or
east so I don't bother
She has tried some of the "normal" greenery house plants but they seem to go
very "washed" out
It may be care but it seems more that the light is just too strong and they
reduce the amount of chlorophyll to compensate
Amaryllis love it - there are over 50 in there - almost boring!!!
and the few orchids she has like it too
Its her birthday soon and she would love some of the more glam plants
Bougainvillea comes to mind but what are your favourites ?
and how is the best way to care for indoor plants
I am fine with the outdoor - get hit by all and sundry plants
but not used to dealing with " ideal" conditions up here :~))
all help would be gratefully received
Don't want to spend a fortune to be wasted but would love to do something
nice for her
