Cool House Plants?
Venus fly traps are very unique... they were big in the early 80's and are making a comeback!
Reply:moonflower, a relative of the viny morning glory, flowers open during evenings. angels trumpet, looks like somekind of orchid, opens when it pitch dark every spring (bear in mind its poisonous, fatal if eaten!) or cereus, a night blooming cactus. one flower one night a year Report Abuse

Reply:My favourite is a prayer plant, they open during the day and close at night, like hands in prayer.

They are green with red lines.

Mine is over 7 years old.

Water every week or two.
Reply:There's a small plant you can get in most greenhouses called a "sensitive plant". I've never seen it labeled or called anything else but that highly un-scientific name. Anyway, it's a small plant with small leaves, which remind me of a fern. It blooms small purple flowers that look almost like fur balls. The neat thing about this plant- when you touch its leaves, it closes up, giving it the appearance of wilting suddenly. If you let it be for a time it opens back up and then closes up again if you touch it. Maybe not the prettiest plant but it is neat to watch. Kind of like a Venus flytrap but the hole stemful of leaves close up upon touch. They're cheap and pretty easy to care for, too.
Reply:I don't go very exotic because they're so much harder to take care of. I find that I'm happy with ivy and aloe plants, maybe elephant ears or spider plants too (which hang very nicely and make corners very pretty)



On the kitchen window, go for some herbs %26amp; that should round out nicely with the other plants.
Reply:Rex Begonias. You should be able to find a few specimens in a greenhouse. They have very unique, metallic-looking leaves in a wide variety, some are very large. Another to look for is an Angel Wing Begonia-has large leaves and lots of flowers.

Bird of Paradise Plant is also neat, with giant leaves; makes a very large house plant.
Reply:Please don't waste your money on Orchids, unless you live in 100% humidity inside of your house.
