Herself's Houseplants

These make an excellent houseplant if you want really cool foliage about 6″ tall.  The leaves tend to purple underneath and green and silver spots on top.  It easily flowers indoors.  The flowers are really cool pink-white and green.

This is very easy to grow, water when top of soil feels dry, but it will forgive you occasionally over or under watering it.  It will grow in dim locations and will flower if you put in somewhere it can get bright light.  It works well under fluorescent lights as well.  It does not like bright direct light so keep it from south or bright west exposures.

Keep from drafty cold windows as well, this is a tropical plant.

Thanks for the wonderful photo!

These plants love fluorescent lights so they are great office plants or plants to stick in a dark corner under a lamp. They want lots of light but not direct sunlight.

They can be grown as hanging plants. Keep them away from windows and doors in cold climates they do not like to get cold.

Soil should be kept moist and they prefer high humidity. Leaves curl, brown then drop if the air is too dry.

Flowers are bright red, hence the name flame violet. Pinch off some of the stolons for better flowering.

Keep water off the leaves or they will spot, like an African Violet does with cold water.
