Title: indoor plants
Post by: transnikki on July 12, 2010, 08:55:00 AM
I wanna get some plants for my new apartment, but I'm afraid there's not enough light.  Can indoor plants survive off of fluorescent ceiling lights or do they need a UV lamp?  I have a UV lamp for parties, would that work?  Or do I not need it?  What kinds of plants would be best?  I want something really cute & pretty but also fun and not messy and not hard to take care of lol.  A flowering cactus or fern perhaps?  Do ferns have flowers?  I don't need to feed plants right?  Just water & light?  Do they need to give waste or is everything just absorbed into the soil?  Sorry for all the questions, I'm hardly a biologist lol.
