Window Of Opportunity

Posted: November 1, 2011 Posted by: Home & Garden Showplace

Just because it's winter doesn't mean you stop planting. Gardeners can keep plenty busy by nurturing plants on window sills inside the house. But, for best results you need to match each plant with the right conditions:

  • North-facing windows favor low-light plants like philodendron, fig and the wandering Jew.
  • South-facing windows, which get the most sun, suit plants such as cacti, trailing begonias, geraniums and ivy.
  • East and west windows get a moderate amount of light and are ideal for plants like lilies and African violets.
