House Plants!

With the New Year being here, I've decided it is time to spruce up the potted plants on my windowsill. I was flipping through Southern Living and I saw this beautiful picture of an anthurium, love it. I am going to get one and I will keep you posted on how it goes.
What plants do you have in your house?


About Anthuriums:
Native to the American Tropics, anthuriums marry glossy, deep green leaves with spectacular blooms of red, pink, orange, or white. No flowers last longer indoors—up to three months from the time they open. Cut flowers last several weeks in water.

How to Grow: Give them bright light but not direct sun. Feed monthly during active growth with a liquid 20-20-20 product. Grow them in coarse, well-drained soil that you let go slightly dry between thorough waterings. Keep temperature above 65 degrees. Clip off old flowers at bases of plants.

How to Display: Growing 12 to 15 inches tall, anthuriums are perfect for tables, countertops, windowsills, and pedestals. Show off the long-lasting cut flowers in pretty vases.
