What flowers do well indoors?

I want to put some in my room.

What flowers do well indoors?
When choosing plants for a particular indoor location, you must assess the light and temperature that the plant will be exposed to. Also be aware if it%26#039;s a location subject to draft conditions.





If the plant is a flowering plant it may require certain conditions in order for it to repeat flowering.





I would say that light is probably the most important factor in indoor gardening. Most indoor plants are classified by high, medium and low light conditions.





The following are a list (by no means complete) of plants which are good starters for indoors:





Aspidistra elatior - Cast Iron Plant


Crassula argentea - Jade Plant


Dieffenbachia amoena - Dumb Cane


Ficus elastica - Indian Rubber Tree


Sansevieria trifasciata - Snake Plant

Reply:African Violets, and they are really pretty, and come in several colors.
Reply:Impatience seem to do well indoors! I have two pots that I have wintered for two years now! They are huge !!! I put them on my front porch during the summer and in a south facing window during the winter!
Reply:If you are able to place your plants close to the window so they get some natural lighting, I agree that African Violets should do well for you. If your plant is going to be placed a bit back from the window, perhaps a Spathophilium. It is available in a solid green leaf as well as a varigated variety, so even when it is not flowering, it is still an attractive plant for low light situations.
