As winter months drag on, some people with the gardening gene find themselves seeking to bring nature indoors. Houseplants are one way to address that desire. Here are five easy ones that will bring the greenery inside.
In 2022, Shayan Ghajar planted randomized blocks of annual forages and evaluated them for yield and nutritive value and also set out to determine the best sowing dates and growing conditions.
The plants in the field trials were chosen by an advisory group of nursery growers and landscape designers and were evaluated on growth, visual appeal, timing of flowering, density of flowers, physiology and heat tolerance.
The choices go beyond traditional poinsettias and amaryllis. Colorful African violets, gloxinia, cyclamen, orchids, ornamental peppers and Christmas cactus are blooming and readily available.
