Addicted to house plants

My current passion has become 'houseplants'.  At least it is something that both Tony and I can enjoy and I am currently drawing up a list of potential plants for a Christmas list.  I would love a 'swiss cheese' plant but can't find one anywhere in the shops.  There are some rooted cuttings on ebay so I may have to buy one of those. Does anyone know whether bronze fennel is simply an annual or whether it would become a perennial if I kept one as a houseplant? The foliage is so fern like and beautiful. Next year I might try growing some of my usual edibles as houseplants.. just to see how they work. I bet a little tumbling tomato would be a nice addition to the bathroom. It's nice and warm in there and there is plenty of light. I could hang it up in one of my macramé plant hangers... watch this space.

    Bronze fennel is a weed it comes up every year and seeds everywhere , it seeds in many different shades so enjoy..lol I once tried tomatoes in the bathroom it seemed quite a logical idea , then i discovered that they attract plagues of whitefly and the horrible sticky trail was everywhere .

    I love houseplants but there isn't any actually windsills inside here apart from the kitchen so I am limited with space. Would you be interested in selling one of your macramé plant hangers? If not no worries. x

      I am flattered that you would want to buy one but in truth you can buy them cheaper on ebay than I could make and post it for.

    I used to have a massive Swiss cheese plant in my first home but must admit that I haven't seen one for many years. Maybe they have gone out of fashion. I did find it ended up being a bit of a dust collector and the leaves needed cleaning from time to time. I think that may have been when I got fed up with it.

    I love houseplants, but only have a couple at the moment. My mom had Christmas cactus and orchids. They were always in bloom. It added so much life and feminine energy to the house. I love your idea of the tomato plant. Can't wait to see what you do.
