House Plants

[Mags]

To bring a bit of brightness to the winter months, I thought we could post pics of our favourite house plants, they can be foliage or flowering plants.
:-P
This is my Kaffir Lily, it is 18" tall and flowers every year....

I dont have any plants. i kill them all!

No, honestly, every plant i ever had has died.

I had a lovely peace lily, one of my fav plants, until we got our cats and they pee'd on it and it died. i ahve tried three times to grow aloe vera. They all died. Had a peanut plant once it died too.

Ones I would love to ahve though area a bonsai tre ( thought i darent cos there hard to grow) a venus fly trap, ello vera duckworth ( aloe vera) and more epace lilies

This is the only house plant I have - had it about 8 years and it's close to 5ft high. I have no idea what it's called. Houseplants don't tend to thrive in my house. Plus I have to admit to not being over keen on potted plants indoors - I prefer cut flowers - maybe coz they don't need any looking after!! ;)

Yola I think that may be a Drycena, or some such name as that. I've got one that looks very similar. Think it's a nice tough thing. I've got a nice fern in the bathroom, which seems to enjoy life there. I'll maybe edit in a pic later.

Here you go

Looks like you've got posh grass Moli!!!:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Moli]

The ponytail plant doesn't need potting on very often, I tend to lift it out the pot and put new compost arouind the roots..
My cat grass is not posh Mags, only cost me 69p!!
