    I grow Dragon plant indoor and it is supposed to be a air cleaner , money plant (philodendron)can be easily grown -all you need is a bottle and water or you can pot it too.

    check on Chinese evergreen , peace lily as these are common indoor plants.

    Hi Meera,

    Can you please post picture of your dragaon plant and let me know where we can get it here in USA?
    Am interested in it as you say it to be air cleaner.

    Thanks

    That brought a smile Bhucat :) Well if you are going to use for indoors, you could certianly as mentioned by Meera try money plant, dragon plant. I also like rubber plant, peace lily and some dwarf palms to grow indoors! I am at my wits end thing of shade tolerant plants for outside - what do you want to grow? Vegetablesor flowers of just keep plants for decoration. Perhaps that can help in answering you better.

    Here it is Vidu [​IMG]

    Also many people say rubber plants also purifies the air indoors. I bought tiny one at Lowes a couple of year ago for a buck or two and now it is almost 4feet tall :)

    Dear Srama,
    Thank you very much for the picture and the details. My DD gets sick all the time and I am looking for all options to make the air and home clean. Hence wanted to check it before I buy something wrong.

    Thank you.
