    Dear Ilites,

    I am sure if not all of you atleast some of you might be immeresed in snow and cold weather like me. Yet, this weather is what makes me want to see some green. When ever the ground is cleared of snow, I am happy to see even the dry dead grass :)

    So I also have some indoor plants like money plant, dwarf palm, peace lilly, one cactus family plant, a rubber plant and one orchid which is just getting ready to flower!! I am also trying to protect a freinds plant and grwoing it for her :) Other than that of course I have moved my tropical plants indoors and trying hard to keep them alive! These include an orange plant, Tulsi, two jasmine plants and a beetle leaf plant. So far, but for some leaf dropping, they seem to acclimatize to the indoor environment and perk up when some sun light falls in or so I feel :)

    Do share the indoor plants you have with pictures and we can exchange notes on what we have and why we have. I will upload some pictures soon.

    HI Nice thread you have started!!

    Though I am not in a place with snow around, I like to keep plants in my patio. All of them are dead now during this winter, However my rose plant will resume back in summer like it did last summer. So there are no photos now to share. Will revisit later and post some!

    I am planning to get an indoor artificial plant for decorative purpose for long time. But want it for best rate :rotfl, You know sometimes some of us like me keep on postponing a purchase to get the best deal.

    Any thought :idea where I could get one for a better rate??? Appreciate that!!

    Yeah, where I live we have terrible winters. I also have a few indoor plants, which I maintain outside during summer.
    Below are the ones I bring inside for winter: Jasmine, red hibiscus, Tulsi, button rose plant and a small myrtle plant.

    You know I have killed a hibiscus too earlier and now stopped buying them. May be I should try my hand again :) Rakhii, would you mind sharing a picture of your myrtle plant?
