# I am a beginner plant parent, but in love with all my little green…

_Geplaatst door OliveOil op 2024-09-22_

I am a beginner plant parent, but in love with all my little green friends. I live in So. Cal. And in the 14 years I have lived in this house I have never used our fireplace. I have been thinking about putting in some grow lights and plants. It might make that dark hole look more interesting. Not sure what types of plants to use. Any suggestions?

Highland nepenthes are a favorite of mine. They tend to be forgiving too, as long as you give them mineral free media, and don't let them sit in water too long. I'm also a huge fan of sundews, but they tend to like higher light and need to be fairly kept fairly wet

Great idea! Maybe find some red and orange plants to put in there that look like fire. Like the Prince of Orange Philodendron or Bromeliad.

Sounds like a lovely idea! I can imagine a full fern like a Boston fern might look good…

Syngoniums, Spider Plants, Tradescantia and Pothos are easy care given sufficient light.

any hardy, medium sized plants so you can keep them in there for a while!

You could do one of these, they look like fire to me,
