Switch to Desktop/Mobile View

There are literally hundreds of plants that you can grow in your indoor garden, and consequently thousands of different ways in which they can be arranged. At the end of the site we have included a rather extensive chart which you can use for quick reference. It enables you to tell pretty much at a glance which plants fit into any given situation.


The physical properties of more than a hundred plants are given, as well as some basic information such as how much light each one likes, and the best methods for propagation. The main categories into which they have been divided are flowering plants, bulbs, foliage plants, and cacti and succulents.
