What indoor plants are good for the northern climates?

September 29, 2009 - 10:16 pm 4 Comments

Living in Canada, I need to know what indoor plants will be best for growth. Something that requires less sunlight and can survive the brisk winds that sometimes enter into the house.

We live in Washington, U.S.

Our Ficus tree does very well even with the dark winter months. Believe it or not, our Date Palm is also doing fine (I feep it right near a picture window so that, when there is sun, it gets it).

They keep our spirits up during the long winters.

    A good plant to have in your house is an Amaryllis. I have a couple around my house and they grow fine in the cold weather. They don’t require too much sunlight, either. You can get them anywhere, I think I got mine at Target.

    I have some ivy that grow in the cold nicely also couple of Bamboo plants. Both types only require indirect light. You can never go right with Spider plants they grow any where .
