Good Plant Choices
For indoor decoration, treelike plants can he set in living room comers, against a wall, in a foyer or can even be used as room dividers in a living-dining area.
“The ficus family is excellent for this purpose, in particular the weeping fig, fiddle-leaf fig and the rubber plant,” says Ernst.
Other choices for relatively low-tomedium light conditions, as is typical indoors, include philodendrons, dieffenbachia, some palms and Chinese evergreen.
For that indoor pedestal or plant stand, choose Boston or Dallas ferns, grapy ivy, Chinese evergreen, spider plant or asparagus fern, recommends Ernst.
“The” jungle cactuses —- the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easier cactus — are spectacular when in bloom.
“All of these plants are highly suitable for hanging baskets as well,” she adds.
Flowering bulbs are outstanding plants for container gardening outdoors, since most need more sun. These include such blooming beauties as amaryllis, freesia, lilies, daffodils and tulips.
Whether dangling from a post, a roof overhang or even a tree, hanging baskets can offer profusions of flowers, in mixed bouquets or in single specimens.
Annuals, such as petunias, impatiens, ivy geraniums, tuberous begonias, fuchsias, sweet alyssum and lobelia make outstanding blooms in hanging baskets. Pick the appropriate plant according to the light conditions where you will hang the basket.
Whatever container you choose, experiment often w ith the endless variety of plants available to find the ones that do well in your small space, and you’ll find your green thumb full of rewards.
