Choosing the Right Plant

There are so many plants out there, which to choose becomes a difficult part of starting your home garden. With so many to choose from which ones will be right for you? The main thing to consider here is:

  1. Growing Conditions, make sure you get a plant that will thrive in your indoor setting...make sure to get a plant that will be able to survive in the conditions you have present in your house.

  2. How much time do you want to spend caring for a plant

  3. Do you want a plant that will be on display year round

  4. How much do you want to spend, you can start from seeds which is the cheapest, or cuttings, or you can shell out a little more money, or a lot more money in some cases, and get a plant that is already grown.

Now, there are a few plants that are fairly strong and will fair better in the hands of a novice. You can get plants like Fatsia, Popular Succulents, Cyperus, Aspidistra, Bromeliads, Coleus, Philodendron Scandens. There are many more, these just happen to be the ones that I like to grow.
