I have about 170 houseplants. (Seriously, lol). However, hubby says we need more color, maybe some flowering plants. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have one space in a south facing window and space for a couple in low light situations. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’m quite happy with the color pop my mammy croton adds, doesn’t flower (to my knowledge) but the foliage is so pretty! (Now I’ve convinced myself I need a few more to sprinkle about my greenery hahaha)

I have about 100, mostly succulents and snake plants because they’re lower care. How on earth do you have time to take care of 200 plants?!? I’m a bit overwhelmed with what I have now…

Takes me about 20 minutes a day. I'm retired so I have a little extra time.

Philodendron pink princess! Mine is thriving in a south facing window. Give her a chunky soil, water when dry, and something to climb. The pink hues are so pretty!

Pink Chinese evergreen brings some variety for me!

I came here to say PPP and Chinese evergreens (so many pink/red and green combos)

Kalenchoe blossfeldiana?

#### MummaDeb replied on 2025-05-25

I'll Google it. 👍🏼

inchplants are great. I got mine from the grocery store and it's a great pop of purple and silver in one of my darker corners

African violets! They come in many beautiful colors
