Thanks Audrey Aglaonema, Aspidistra, Dieffenbachia, Dracaena, Maranta, Monstera, Philodendron, Peace Lily, Umbrella Tree, Fishbone Fern. Pothos, maybe. Plants that are variegated, or colourful, revert to green if the light is not bright enough. If the light is good, you can also grow ferns (or just about anything in the indoors section of a nursery, except cacti). jane |

with red, green & white leaves... I've got a couple in my enclosed garden & they're thriving. "Jane VR" wrote in message u...

That has long, thin, pointed leaves, with the different colours in stripes down the length. Could also be Maranta, Croton, Caladium, Coleus, Cordyline. If you describe the leaves more, or have a photo, I might be able to tell you more. Or do a Google image search. Jane |

Thanks Jane,
I'm 99.9% sure it's a croton. "Jane VR" wrote in message u... Wanda wrote: What's that foliage plant that comes in various colours, often variagated with red, green & white leaves...

I'm not sure an African Violet would be any good in a bathroom as they don't
like moisture on their leaves & I think the humidity of a bathroom environment would be too much... of course I could be wrong I've never understood people's comments about this plant being difficult to grow & to get to flower. I've got a black thumb & yet my AVs have always flowered profusely, I think possibly because it gets full morning sun in my north facing kitchen window. I also feed it watered down blood from meat packaging. Anyone know of any AV specialist nurseries, or any that have a good range, in Perth? "Chookie" wrote in message ...
