I live in Atlantic Canada and am intending to focus on my indoor garden this winter. I will be starting seeds for my backyard this winter but what plants can I buy that will offer interest, colour, and life to my rooms while I wait for spring to come again? BTW, I'm unreliable when it comes to fertilizer application, so I'll do best with plants that aren't very hungry.
What are the best house plants?
I love the holiday cactus, or Christmas cactus. It blooms so beautifully in the winter and when it is done, the foliage is still lovely and green

Reply:Philodendron vines, mother-in-laws tongue(snake plant), and cactus grow well for me.

Reply:It's tough to give plants enough light to worry too much about fertilizing, just use potting soil with time release fertilizer. To raise seedlings for the garden don't start too early or you run into light issues again if they get too large. Until I switched to metal halide I got by with shop lights lamped with one cool white and one warm white bulb kept within 6" of seedlings. One of the most underrated house plants for winter color are Impatiens, I always bring a few in in the fall. RScott
