apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I <3 you forever for this list. I may even get to the nursery today.

Dieffenbachia is very pretty but it's poisonous. So for those of you with pets make sure it's out of their reach.

My bathroom is windowless, so I was excited to see a "no light" catagory. I googled Dieffenbachia, so I could see what it looked like and buy one, only to realize.. I have one. It lived in a caraff of water for about a year (stole a clipping from a plant at work), and I recently put it in soil.. now I just need to move it out of direct sunlight and into my bathroom!

There's wikipedia pages for most plant varieties which usually have good tips on watering and light requirements. Very good info!

be sure to check out lists of plants poisonous to your pets first!

i can't find a plant that my cats won't eat... no plants for my household! :-(

dags = dogs

does anyone know where I can find a vanity cabinet/sink similar to the one pictured? (for less than an arm and a leg!)

I see orchids like the ones pictured at Home Depot this time of year.

Air plants!

My African violets and Norfolk pine have been ever so much happier since being moved to the bathroom. The room gets morning sun through a somewhat frosted window. I think the plants enjoy the humidity.

My purple African Violet is doing well in a similar bathroom to quercus' now that I have a little "fence" around it to keep Cashmere from munching on the flowers and buds.

She played with 11 orchids until the buds fell off when I lived in NYC, so I stopped with the indoor plants for about 10 years until this January.
