Image by turtlemom4bacon The best location for plants is a garden room or solarium. These rooms offer the most light in the whole house. If you use it as a green living room and heat it in the winter, you can grow all warmth-loving plants. If you don’t heat it, you can use it as a nice frost-free glass shelter for Mediterranean species. It would also be a perfect place to overwinter plants.
If you have a balcony or patio, it’s also a wonderful place to put your plants during nice weather. They will get natural light throughout the day and normal cool down temperatures at night. When winter comes, you can bring them in and line them up against the patio door.
Patios sheltered at the side and roofed balconies are a good place for wind-sensitive plants. These include:
- Arbutus unedo
- Abutilon
- Aristolochia macrophylla
- Begonia
- Bougainvillea
- Campanula
- Campsis radicans
- Caryopteris x clandonensis
- Cuphea ignea
- Dahlia
- Datura
- Ensete ventricosum
- Fuchsia
- Hellotropium arborescens
- Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
- Lagerstroemia indica
- Lathyrus odoratus
- Plumbago auriculata
- Salvia splendens
In south-, east- or west-facing windows, and in garden rooms, you end up with a lot of sunlight throughout the day. Some of the best plants for this situation would be:
- Aeonium
- Agave
- Aloe variegata
- Aporocactus flageliformis
- Astrophytum
- Beaucarnea
- Callistermon
- Citrinus
- Cephalocereus senillis
- Chamaerops humilis
- Cordyline australis
- Cycas
- Echeveria
- Eucalyptus
- Nerium oleander
- Phoenix
- Strelitzia
Plants from the virgin forests of the tropics and subtropics enjoy partly shady, warm and humid locations. This type of atmosphere reminds them of the rainforests. Plants that enjoy this atmosphere include:
- Aglaonema
- Alocasia
- Anthurium
- Asplenium nidus
- Miltonia
- Phylitis
- Rhipsalis
- Scirpus
- Streptocarpus
