Bedroom plants

17 years ago

I love to keep plants inside, but it's starting to get a little out of control lol. Well, I plan to keep the ones that are growing well in the bedroom, but what should I do with the other ones I have? Any suggestions of plants I could keep in the room? It gets eastern morning sunlight. Thanks! :]

    Well you could try some of the plants that I love to grow but you may not like them. I have not tried to grow them inside but you may know how. My favorite plants would turnips, cabbage, collards, and mustard, but I have never tried to grow them in the bedroom, would you try and let me know how they do inside, thanks DAN

    We think of the south-west as having a dry, moisture-less, environment but with plenty of sunlight.

    The sun, however, doesn't play favorites with areas of the country that supposedly has year-round sun power, it gets dark in Phoenix almost as soon as it does in Maine and the sun's intensity during the spell from November - February is not all that great, hence the reason why plants are recommended to be given western or southern exposures---the sun is, at least, stronger.
    A north facing exposure during this time is practically putting the plant into a darkened room...and while we enjoy during summertime, the morning, cool sun from the east, until the sun returns in February, it too cant be trusted to give those plants that like sun their due. So if you can, move the plants from the east window to a more western or southern.

    Otherwise, raise the plants as much as possible. Michaels has many pedestals that can be attractive holding a plant--maybe you have ideas about poinsettia for the holidays...a pedestal can exhibit one of these attractively.
    We imagine too that poinsettia can be planted out of doors where light shining on it can be withheld.
    Plants on furniture should be with regard for how the plant drains when they are watered, which wont be very often given the dry environment they prefer.

    I would also try to select those plants that don't attract bugs. You certainly don't want to have to deal with aphids and others in a bedroom where they can infest the linen.
    For those times you do see a ladybug, don't dispose of, but rather place the little girl on the plant and let her have dinner there.
