Although many plants like light, they do not all have to be placed near windows. Many indoor plants originated in the dense shade of tropical forests and have a high rate of photosynthesis. These are ideal for the home and can be placed in darker corners. When positioning plants, try to strike a balance between light and ventilation because the effect of plants on indoor air pollution appears to be reduced if they are set in a draft. Enjoy fresher air with these plants

Yes, I'm an indoor gardener and have dozens of plants. Since I grow inside for the most part I have a lot of cacti and succulents, foliage plants, and tender bulbs like Amaryllids.

YUP. Just moved 25 or 30 Plumeria trees in for the winter. Also have orchids and a few others. Almost forgot the 10 or so citrus trees. I live in Arkansas so they can't stay out all winter.

Nope...with my wife taking care of them, only dead ones.
Or as I would say...permanently dormant.
