    I have a christmas cactus that I started from a cutting my Mother gave me severals years ago. It has really grown! I took in 2 plants from last summer and have kept them growing through the winter. One is a jasmine vine and the other is a fuschia. The are growing nicely, not blooming though. They will go back outside in late spring. Thats all

    Next year I want to plant some basil in pots to bring in for the winter, I love to cook with fresh basil and it's so expensive in the winter

    I have several plants, some of which I have no idea what they are. The ones that I know the names of that I have are 2 Peace Lilies, 1 Christmas Cactus, and 2 African Violets. I also have some type of ivy and a small tree (for lack of a better description).

    Hubby was a houseplant nut when I met him. He kept various houseplants throughout the years. A couple of moves ago, I got ruthless on his butt and pressured him to give them away so we wouldn't have to deal with moving them cross-country. I've felt guilty ever since.

    This year, I started trading for plant cuttings, as well as picking up a little one here and there when I see them and have a couple of extra $$.

    Right now we have: a huge aloe vera plant with a ton of babies, a haworthia attenuata, several Christmas cacti, some various ivies, some I-don't-know-whats, a couple of different cacti, and who knows what else I've forgotten.

    Soon, I'll be starting him some cleome and some others if I can just find what I did with the seeds...

    All I have is a bamboo plant, my cat eats everything else. He's tried to eat the bamboo so I have to keep it where he can't get to it.

    I just counted how many houseplants I have and didn't realize I had this many. twelve! Where I work at the funeral home brings some plants to work and if nobody wants them I take them. I have a couple of cactus plants, one ivy plant, two african violets and three lily plants (I think thats what there called) and the rest I don't know what there called. Just love house plants!

    I have several pothos, two poinsettas and 5 mums and 1 lucky bamboo. I get free plants from work all the time. Right now I am trying to get some of them to survive the net few weeks so I can plant them out in spring.
