Hardy Houseplants?
I'm looking for some low-maintenance houseplants that do well in low light
and low humidity, since I'm putting them in a north-facing bedroom in the winter. Edible herbs or spices would be especially nice. Can anyone suggest some good species? Thanks in advance. |

For your situation, consider philodendron, aglaonema (Chinese evergreen), pothos (Epipremnum), and aspidistra. Unfortunately, most herbs are sunlovers and would not do well. Even so, your plants might benefit from being outdoors in the summer. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train."

Laurel and Hardy houseplants?
Don't forget Sansevieria. You can forget about growing any herbs. Iris Cohen wrote in message ...

I have had a lot of luck with the Wedding Palm Lytocaryum Weddellianum. Very
attractive deep green fronds that go well with Victorian decor. Bit expensive, though. "Stan Coffey" wrote in message news:s6gmb.167986$6C4.112544@pd7tw1no...
