Succulents work great in south windows BUT wouldn't be a good combination plant with wandering jew.

Neither Dieffenbachias nor PLs like direct southern sun.
How about Spider plant? They look good in hanging pots. Or a Thanksgiving or Christmas cactus? They are on clearence now in every store.

I was thinking of putting some type of hens and Chick's in there but I need to find a home for the wandering jew. What's a Pl? Haha sorry don't really know the terms and abbreviations for plants....
I have way to many spider plants at the moment kinda get sick of them really
I do like the CC's and TC's. Used to have a huge Thanksgiving one but gave it away to my grandma as there was no real spot for it.
Maybe I'll just go for a succulent then. I guess the wandering jews will just have to keep on wandering
Thanks

I also forgot to mention the the east half of my window has a screen over it.... If that makes a difference
Also, Would a hibiscus work? I've been doing so research and the few sources I Have found say that they can handle a southern exposure

No idea about hibiscus...
What about a string of hearts (Ceropegia woodii)? It is succulent, hanging, with lovely leaves and pretty little flowers. Or string of pearls (Senecio something)?
PL= peace lily

Those both look very Interesting! The flowers are really unique on the C. Woodii and theÃÂ Senecio rowleyanus (had to google that :P) dosnt even look real.
I'll do some research on both of them and I'll see if there at my local garden centre! Thanks for the suggestions!
And Haha I guess that one was a bit too obvious... PL peace lily.... Should have figured that one out!

If you are looking for succulents, you could try some haworthias. They are low maintenance and would definitely thrive in a South-facing windowsill. Your local big box store or nursery will carry a few varieties.

I don't think hibiscus would be a good indoor plant. I doubt it would flower. You would just be struggling to keep it alive.

Semps (hens and chicks) are meant to be outside and, I believe, may even be able to take your zone.....they originate in the Alps. They need the cold to reenergize for the next year.
Haworthias are winter growers, so they really wouldn't do much in the summer, but many of them grow with a rosette type shape, so, depending on what exactly you want/expect from your planter, they may or may not be a good choice. Echeverias also grow into rosettes and are opportunistic growers, so, if conditions are right for them in winter, they will grow. Hope this helps a little! :)

I have several Hoya's growing in a southern window and they are easy care, have pretty foliage and flower.

Really? Oh well. Didn't do too much research on it but just saw that they could handle alot of light. But I wouldn't have gotten one anyway.... The cheapest i found them are like 30 bucks! And they did seem way to 'tropical' to really live inside where I am.
And yeah I love Haworthia'S. I have a haworthia attenuata that I have had for 6 years but I'm looking for something new

Oh didn't even see your post! I'll Have to do some research on them!
Thaks for the suggestion

Wow keep on Missing posts! Didn't even see your post until today Nancy!
I do actually have some hens and Chick's outside currently growing around my pond. I have tried to take some pups indoors but your right they are meant to be outside.
Echeverias .... Never heard of them. Will have to some research on them!

Can't wait to see whats at the nursery! But will have to wait awhile until the temperature at least goes above -15.
Thanks for all the suggestions people! Now I just need to narrow down on the ones I like and hope they are available this time of year up North

So,

I had the COT in the wall pot for about 4 months, but recently moved them into my succulent dish to make it look better and to kinda keep all my succulents in one place. It's basically in the exact same exposure as it was here on the wall, but with a little more direct sunlight as the windows are longer and not obstructed by a roof.

So thus again, I have an empty wall pot on the wall. I've tried looking for the other species suggested but found none of those.

I guess I've miss judged the sunlight that enters my window as during the summer, almost no direct light enters my room while in late summer/fall/winter/spring, The wall pot plant would get full sun.

I was thinking of moving it so it would allow me to plant a peacelily or other in there, but then I'd have a hole in the wall.

So now I'm looking again.

Are there any other types of plants beside succulents and Cacti that could go well here?

The plant has to be a up grower and not trailing as of it were to trail it would trail directly below my window which gradually reduces the light levels.

I'd put a sago Palm in it, but the top portion of the pot doesn't seem like a sago with its bulbous base could fit in there.

I can't picture this container in my mind's eye. Any chance of a picture or two?

Here's it in its resting spot with the COT in it. And then this is the top of it. It's like a half pot.
