Philodendron (sp?), Boston fern, Spiderplant, Aloe, Cactus, African Violets, Jade, etc. are all indoor plants that live year 'round. Some of them you can bring outside during the warm weather but you will need to bring them in before the first frost.

I'm not talking about kinds of plants, Linda. I'm just asking and see if
indoor plants can live all year and through the winter. :wink:

I have a Christmas cactus I have had since a man from a greenhouse came and helped us plant them in 1st grade. I have taken care of that thing for years and every year about Dec. 20th or so it blooms. It is so pretty. It has grown so much that last year I had to put it in 2 pots.

This is tied to the topic of this thread because it survives very well indoors as have the orchids that I have, although they look pretty sick this year.

Well hello, weathergeorge!

What you're discussing is "tropical plants"! These are plants from all over the world that are sold to be kept inside year 'round. In their native habitat, each species easily can grow OUTSIDE......and when we use them as decorative accents INSIDE our homes, the temps and conditions of where they originate can usually be reproduced quite easily.

(Many people loose "tropical plants" because of NOT knowing that particular plant variety requirements.....too much sun....too little sun....too much water....too little water....etc!)

During warmer months, many people put their inside plants outside. Of course, they need to wait until danger of frost is past.....and make sure to bring them back in before it frosts again! Knowing the plants' growth requirements is important here too.....does it grow in sun or shade??...etc.

Every year, new varieties of plants can be found that make wonderful "house plants".............lots of old fashioned favorites are still around also. Hope this helped you!.......p :wink:

Petalpusher - I've never thought of "inside plants" as being tropical - nor do I remember them being referred to as such. When I think of "tropical', I think of palms, etc. Makes sense though.
