    I love that Hosta has such a large 'house plant' collection that they needed their own house.   :D

    I really like the Madagascar Jasmine - Stephanotis.  It's very pretty and smells divine.

    Soz!! I saw the " what's your favourite plant " bit, but missed the "indoor" bit

    I like full scale maiden haired ferns, though they can be divas. And oxalis triangularis - which have purple leaves and iridescent undersides. I've not really got the house for indoor plants as I have few windowsills. So I am slowly giving mine away.

    Do you ever eat the leaves on those? I like snacking on wood sorrel when I'm out walking and triangularis is supposed to be similar. Don't eat too much though.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Pretty common,but I love my Asparagus Fern which lives upstairs on the landing,but hangs at least half the way down the stairs,it doesn't have much light either!
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.

    Maidenhair fern is my favourite indoor plant but it is VERY unforgiving. If you forget to water it, it will die asap.
    So I don't grow it, but it's still my favourite.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I have had to reduce and relocate my indoor plants since the arrival of my two cats (many plants are toxic to cats plus they will munch and bat most plants).  My favourite plant is a large Peace Lily given to me by my sister about 7 years ago (the plant is in dining room as cats not allowed in there). I bought a lovely deep red Geranium the other weekend, and decided to keep it indoors for the colour. 
    My garden and I live in South Wales. 
  • My favourite indoor plants are probably moth orchids, but no matter what I do with them I end up killing them.

    I don't keep them now.  :(

    No, I haven't tried eating my indoor oxalis but have tried outside ones. As ever, they may be edible but you probably wouldn't want to eat them unless the zombies were coming. A friend and I were eating young common lime leaves yesterday, out on a woodland walk. Each leaf tasted radically different from the other. Interesting but very chewy. Might go well in a French onion soup.
