She flowers all year (eleven blooms at the moment!!), looks like a little stand of trees, and is totally unfussy. I have her potted up in an old bonsai pot to accentuate her tree-like looks. My cat smelled one of the flowers the other day and I just watched (ready to jump up if she did anything nippy). She just shook her head and walked away. Phew!

I have a lot of winter-in/summer-out plants. Mostly tender perennials. All houseplants were brought indoors from nature at some point. For me, failure to thrive causes aphids and spider mites to appear. Many (like hedera ivy) need fresh air breezes. Currently, I am trying a Ligularia Last Dance. So far, so good @ 3 months, no bugs, w new growth. I will put it back outside in spring. My best unusual discovery is Plumbago Auriculata. It is a tropical perennial shrub grown as a hedge in hot climates, with small ruffly leaves and clusters of pale violet-blue flowers. They started selling it as an outdoor annual here in Utah in 2018. I bring mine (10 inch pot) in before frost and it has wintered without bugs for 3 winters. It does get woody and requires trimming. I think this spring I will root prune & replace the soil with fresh.

Then, if you named the window EAST, you could show, maybe using a pencil or round stickers, what placement is considered BRIGHT, MEDIUM AND LOW light in that diagram. 2 feet? From East window: is that still to bright? 6-10 feet? And what if the window is West? How many feet is turning into low light from medium? Help. Aaarrrggghhhh. Is there not some sort of information on the amount of luminance each family of plants needs and your info on that translates in a "made up" room.
