Default Conservatory plant advice.

Friend has asked what conservatory plant she should buy. South facing, and
gets rather hot in summer but no specific heating in winter, only heat
from the house. Not gardeners but will follow instructions.
I suggested a Tahiti lime or Brugmansia, provided it spent the summer
outside. There are children though so the last one might be off limits.
Suggestions welcome please.

My late father put grape vines in his they need keeping in check but supply
welcome shade and of course quite a few tasty grapes and vine leaves for
cooking. They survived quite happily without extra heat in winter.
