Indoor plants

what plants would people recommend to add a bit of colour or life to my flat. never really attempted anything like this before, as i go away alot etc.

Rubber plants are very hardy and don't require much attention. Spider plants also.
Don't go for temperamental things like weeping figs or ferns. They die pretty quickly if not in the exact environment

Aloe vera

follow the way of the bonsai, dogsballs-san.

I find mushrooms grow quite easy in the bathroom.

Cacti

cheese plants and i could probably give you a few to start you off

Cacti

This

Piss easy to look after

I'd get an egg plant too and maybe a yukka

Get some pepper plants and you can eat what you grow.

as has been said, Yukkas, Cheeseplants and Rubber plants are all perfect low maintenance houseplants

Geraniums. Thread closed.

Marijuana, of course.

Indeed. The one I planted in my garden turned out to be a male - Fail! :(

Orchids, cos they don't want much water, and if you treat 'em mean, they love it.

Besides, they're as beautiful as you, Petal.

I had loads in my student house, but they all died when I went to new zealand.
I love plants/ gardening, and was quite sad my housemate let them die tbh...
Found that it helped with the damp smell of the house too.
shitty house that.

Genuine suggestion!

There you go. Surely that's enough basis to buy some seeds, Dale??

grrrrrrrr...

zygocacti (?) flower around xmas and are pretty.

dragon trees are pretty low maintenance, another option is to get a load os lucky bamboo and stick them in a big vase of water - no feeding or maintenance and they look good when they start sprouting

Yes dragon trees are nice and easy
