I stay in Virginia , US.What plants can I grow indoors without them drying up or dying ?

I am new to this place. The climate here is so unpredictable. A few days it is sunny and most of the times it is cloudy. A marigold plant that I bought few weeks back is almost dying. What are the other plants that can be grown indoors with such a climate?

Reply:Pothos does great indoors. They like the sun so put it in reach. Ferns also do really good indoors but they can be a little tricky as to watering. What you do in place the stopper in the kitchen sink and fill halfway up with water mixed with plant food. Then place the potted fern in the water which should come halfway up the outside of the pot. Indoor ferns like to be from the bottom up so leave it there for an hour or so. And in house plants (except for African Violets and fuschias) loved to be sprayed with water.

There are tons of indoor plants to choose from, but if you are looking for an indoor plant with lots of flowers you may try an impatien. You will still need to put it in a bright windowsill but it doesn't require direct sun. I wintered impatiens like this a few years ago.. they do quite well.





Keep it watered, but be sure the pot has drainage. Seems that most pots come with saucers to set them in, or come as a single assembly. Those are a best bet when you are not sure if you are over watering.





Good luck!
Reply:I just got an orange tiger lily plant 2 weeks ago and it already looks dead after sitting on my back patio. But, as I was searching online to find plants that I could keep indoors that wouldn't need full sunlight, I came across articles about plants and indoor air quality. Apparently some plants are really good at filtering toxins of indoor air. So, you should check out this article on plants that grow well inside and clean your air.
