This forum is used mostly for outdoor gardening. You might want to check with the people at the "Houseplants" forum. You can also check in the forums for paricular plants (African violets, etc). The major concerns would be differing light/soil requirments.

Note: the more specific your questions, the more and better the responses seem to be.

Don't fall prey to a common newbie mistake and forget to find out how large your plants will grow. The Reigers get to be quite big and I can easily see them overpowering the others in a small container. Quickly.

'Moderate' light should be very good light...even some direct morning sun. Your flowering plants need good light in order to be productive. Is that what you meant by 'moderate'?

Cyclamen are seasonal plants, and will go into complete dormancy sometime after blooming. By complete, I mean that they will die back to the corm, and will need to be stored dry.

Annuals and some perennials do well in containers meant for multiples because they have root systems that grow quickly, filling the confines of the container soon. Indoor plants don't do that. We warn against 'over potting' because root rot problems arise so quickly. African violets, especially, are typically grown in very small containers for their size for this reason.

You might do better with this plan if you chose a small selection of plants that prefer drier soils....then you could put together sort of a dish garden look with less chance for root problems.

I'm just playing devil's advocate here....trying to troubleshoot some of the problems that I forsee right off the bat. DO post in the Houseplant Forum for some great advice!

thanks guys, i posted in the house plants section. i'll look into plants needing drier soils. :)

I think that you'll find that you have a lot more options going that route.
