Indoor Potted Plants

**oj88** · February 21st, 2017 12:21 PM

My botanical knowledge is like that of a 5 year-old, so go easy on me.

I want to grace our home with live potted plants for the following purposes:
1. Aesthetics
2. To improve indoor air quality

My personal requirements:
1. Low maintenance - It should live with just artificial indoor ambient lighting (LEDs) 95% of the time, with maybe very little indirect sunlight during the morning
2. It shouldn't grow too big - 3-4 feet tall maximum for the living room, a foot or two for the toilet, and maybe 2-3 feet for the bedroom. (Not particularly sure on these figures so I'm open to suggestions)
3. Can coexist with pets - We have a pet dog loose in the house and I definitely don't want a plant that's in any way toxic to canines. On the other end of the spectrum, I also don't want a plant that's known to be edible to canines (if there's such a thing exists), for obvious reasons

Where is the go-to place for buying indoor plants?

Any help is appreciated.

Check your local gardener. They may have a few good suggestions.

Chlorophytum comosum = Spider plant
Chamaedorea = bamboo palm(not kawayan)

We used to have palmera plants in our living room. It doesn't grow too tall, maybe 4 feet.

I like how the money tree (Pachira Aquatica) looks. Not sure where to get them though.

Did you find yourself in Tagaytay during the weekends, do drop by plant sellers along Aguinaldo Hiway in Silang Town.
