Fragrant Indoor Plant
Hi. Firstly, I'm not sure that I have the right forum here, if not apologies.
I am a Caretaker with a locked cupboard for most of the day....no daylight. It can have a musty smell so I would like to put a fragrant plant in there. Trouble is as I said, its dark pretty much most of the time. Is there a plant out there that I could use? Thanks. |

Instead of a plant -- which surely will not thrive in the dark -- try a pomander or spice sachet. A Google search on either should result in many "hits". For pomander, try http://www.organic.org/articles/showarticle/article-161. For spice sachet, try http://www.herbcompanion.com/health/spice-sachet-blend.aspx. -- David E.

No plant will grow in the dark. Could you leave it under a light at least 8 hours a day? If so there are some that will grow in low light although this excludes many that smell sweet from flowers as (generally) flowers take more light than leaves. D |
