Flowering Favorites
Flowering plants aren’t that common indoors, but there are some favorites that can thrive and provide a splash of color.
15. Geranium. The famous geranium (Pelargonium spp.) is often dismissed, but it’s hard to beat for its range of colors, interesting foliage, and ease of maintenance. Grow geraniums on a sunny windowsill, let them anchor a tabletop display, or place them in a hanging pot to brighten up a corner.
Care tips: Geraniums love the sun, so they are ideal for west-facing windows. Vwell, let the soil drain completely and then let it dry out a bit before watering again. In winter, water less often, but do not let the roots dry out completely.
Feed with fertilizer half power every two weeks or a quarter-strength fertilizer every week from spring to fall. Regularly trim and pinch the stems to maintain a bushy shape.
Caution: Geranium can be toxic to humans and pets if ingested.
