Nice list, thanks! I have a dog, so the indoor plants I have are nontoxic: an african violet, a nontoxic fern, culinary herbs in hubby's Aerogarden, and a goldfish plant (which I love!! It is so cool looking.) Used to have a Persian violet which was fabulous and fragrant-- smelled great for about 2 months, but it eventually finished flowering, sickened and died. It was replaced by the goldfish plant.

Kim, that's what I was going to ask. How cold does the room get? duh. lol. Plants will live in cool, even cold temps...the one thing you must remember: the cooler the temp, less watering is needed.. Both my plant rooms are cool. One room, gets really cold. One night it was 23F, but that was before we had new windows installed..Still, there's nights it drops in the high 40's. I keep Hibiscus, citrus, and many other plants in this room, but most that can endure cool temps. There's different levels of shade. Some plants are meant to live in shady spots, and bloom, too. Also, people see 'light' differently. What you might say is shady, I could consider it bright indirect light. It varies. Kim, the majority of my plants are mid to high light. Living in IL, winters are cold, dry and dark. Yet, many plants flower in winter. Anthuriums is one example, although they look best in medium light. I keep lights on certain plants, especially succulents, but a limited time at night. a few hours. In my experience, I pot in my own soil mix, withhold fertilizer during winter, use a humidifer, and mist daily. It balances out throughout the year. Dracaenas will live in low light, but not total shade or a completely sunless area. They really do best in medium light..It depends on the species and whether or not it's variegated. I'm curious which plant you found at HD..lol..Toni

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely be saving seeds Fran. I think these are suppose to cascade with time so I might be in for a real treat. They were so small when I put them in those pots in late June, but they've grown quite well. PV, Sometimes the weather here doesn't cooperate in the summer and the bigger Marigolds get all moldy and mushy. These also feed the soil some nitrogen while they grow so I have them here and there in the gardens. BTW, I KNOW you've got good looking containers 'up' there! The little girl... I saw her at a garden center close to the trash bin. She was broken from her original base and they were going to throw her out, but I rescued her, glued her to a terra cotta tile, glued polished river rocks on the base. The little china flower vase in front of her is also glued there. It was something my mother was going to throw away because the flowers were chipped. Total cost was the price of the glue, but she is priceless. :O)

since you have plenty of food for them, you might simply toss the poisonous ones to the regular compost. Here is a link that might be useful: My bin
