I do not have a lot of sunlight, but would like something that blooms through as much as possible of the fall, winter, and spring.

Best answer:

Answer by Just Another Guy
A few plants grow well indoors year-round and bloom over and over again. Here are five of the very best:

Chenile plant (Acalypha hispida) produces fuzzy, long, red, cat tail-like blooms that dangle from the ends of the branches. It grows best in bright light and high humidity – great for sunny kitchen window.

Bromeliads are tubular, succulent plants that produce tall spikes of dazzling flowers. There are many types to choose from, some with brightly colored foliage. Grow in bright, indirect light and loose soil kept on the dry side. Some are epiphytes (they grow naturally in the bark of trees) and can be grown on pieces of wood, cork, or dried branches.

African violets (Saintpaulia) are dainty plants with fuzzy leaves and beautiful clusters of white, red, pink and purple blooms. They prefer bright indirect light, even moisture and regular fertilizer.

Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) is a cascading plant with dangling succulent branches tipped with bright rosy red blooms around Christmas. It blooms best with bright indirect light and long, cool nights in November. Fertilize and water regularly.

Since you said that you do not have a lot of sunlight, Spathiphyllums are sometimes called peace lilies and are one of the most reliable blooming houseplants in situations where bright sunlight is not available. The shiny, dark green leaves are topped by stunning bright white blooms with a strong tropical feel. Some types are small plants, just a foot or two high; others can reach up to 6 feet high. The taller the plant, the bigger the blooms. Flowers best in bright, indirect light but will do well in low light. Water regularly and fertilize often.

Each flowering houseplant has its own requirements when it comes to blooming, but most will do best with bright indirect light like you’d find near (but not directly in the sun) a west- or south-facing window. Keep plants away from cold drafts and maintain vigorous growth with regular water and fertilizer.

I live in Michigan. I have a spot that is on a hill that has some sand mixed in the dirt. It is very shady. What can I plant there that will grow? Hosta does not work

Best answer:

Answer by krawfish
sand mixed in could be a prob if its mixed with your other soil.

Hostas dont work you might try other wide leaf plant or maybe a fern I am not from there so I dont know the climate. you might need to bring in some compost or humus or peat moss to help build up your soil.

Look around your neighborhood and see if you can spot some plants that might fit the bill. If you do dont hesitate to stop in and knock. If you compliment their plants they’ll tell you anything about their plants you need to know

Blizzard, I assume in partnership, with Popcap Games have implemented a version of Plants vs Zombies into WoW and it’s surprisingly good. This is the Peacebloom vs Ghouls quest-line, from start to finish. For your OCD folks, there’s also a repeatable ‘infinite’ version afterwards and achievements. God help us all.
