So, now that I have a giant Mexican Pinguicula shaped hole in my soul (too dramatic?), I think I need to look for something living and green that can handle the conditions that my new home (as of April) will provide. Where better to go to ask for some help in choosing new plants than my fellow sap-blooded clan?
I'd love to get some feedback about plants that are...
* Drought resistant (i.e. can withstand not being watered for a week/ten days at a time)
* Low light (no windowsills whatsoever but plenty of indirect light during the day)
* Easy to please (tap water + regular soil)
* Purty and leafy (I like leaves, although flowers are also very nice)
* Easy to move (nothing massive or overly heavy)
* Available in England
* Can handle cold spells (the flat gets coooold in winter without the heating on)
* Not an orchid
I was looking at peace lilies (Spathiphyllum) as a possibility but am also just curious as to what else is out there and what each of you have grown in the past. Thank you!
