Hi folks. Quite possibly the wrong place to ask, but would anyone know a
good group to post looking for some houseplant recommendations?

You are here. What do you want to know? My first recommendation is always find
out the exact name & spell it right. I have been harassing everyone else here
about that for several years. ;-)

Spelling things write is indeed terrably importent.

I could send my Labrador around to shit in your back yard. Would that
be of any help?

Of course it's all relative. If you misspell a plant name, you get a
plant that could be very different than what you planned on. If you
misspell Celebrex as Celexa, your arthritis goes untreated, but you may
no longer be as upset about it.

So, have you been taking stupid pills again, Warren?

This topic has been beaten into the ground so many times and still hasn't
made an impression on the slowest in the group.

Getting the proper scientific name of the plant should be of paramount
importance so that everyone knows what you are talking about, just as you
would prefer to be called by your proper name rather than being referred to
as that babbling dumbass!

No. But I have some tricolored Wandering Jew that is growing like mad in a
hanging conttainer from a few little clipping. Ask your friends for some--I
forget the scientific name, and this is a place where eggwhite cookies are
called Petes de Nonnes....

Why the rhetorical question?

We do houseplants. What are you looking for? Low-light? Low
maintenance? Something Green? Large? Small? Blooming?
