You can't leave your plants outside to freeze to death during the cold months. That's just cruel! Plants become part of the family after a while. You wouldn't leave your family out in the cold. Would you? Extra space in my home is somewhat limited. Every year I am trying to figure out where to put the plants. I would like to find spots where they would get plenty of sunshine, add to the decor and not be in the way.
I added a new member to the family this past summer. When I saw this mother-n-law plant at a garage sale for $2.50, I just couldn't resist. She measures a little over 3' around and 4' 3" tall, that's including the 1' deep pot she came in and she's still growing. I am not kidding. She is awesome!
One idea is to group some plants in the living room in front of the window, on ceramic tiles laying on plastic. The plastic should protect the floor from dirt and water stains. Another idea is to suspend some in front of a window using macrame hangers. If I can't find those, I will punch holes around rims and attach with wire or rope. They get their sunshine and I have a nice curtain. The third idea is to place in empty corners on plant stands I create out of baskets or small trash cans, turned upside down. I guess a sturdy box covered with a nice scarf could work too. I don't think a plant stand is necessary for my newest addition to the family.
If you have some other ideas on plant placement, please share. I could use the help.
