It is my special place in the home for relaxation and recreation. My books are in the plant room; my CDs, religious reading, and sewing supplies are, too. It&#8217;s near enough to the kitchen so that I can start dinner and relax in comfort without being too far from the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Among the indoor plants gracing my plant room are plenty of <a href=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/2015\/01\/african-violets-easy-care-house-plants.html\">African violets<\/a>. Many of you have heard my presentation on African violets. They are one of my favorite indoor plants. If I had room for more, I would grow more!<\/p>\n<p>I also have low-light house plants such as <a href=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/2016\/02\/best-plants-for-low-light-areas.html\">Peace Lily<\/a> and pothos, as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/2014\/11\/how-to-get-your-christmas-cactus-to-bloom.html\">Christmas cactus<\/a> and one bizarre cactus inherited from my father-in-law.<\/p>\n<p>I used to have more house plants before I had cats. Unfortunately, cats have a bad tendency to knock the plants off of the shelves! They love rubbing against the spikes of the cactus. It is like their personal scratching post.<\/p>\n<p>If I could, I would fill a larger room with house plants of all sorts. My dream is to one day have a conservatory. A girl can dream!<\/p>\n<p>As you consider the many indoor plants you can add to your home, the kind people over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalgardenservices.ie\/landscape-gardeners-dublin.html\">Capital Garden Services<\/a> contacted me and asked if I would share this infographic they&#8217;ve put together on the best indoor plants. I am delighted to share it with you. I think it provides plenty of useful information.<\/p>\n<p>Happy gardening.
