Winter in the North East
By Rosetta
RI,

I need to have some nature growing and wonder what other ppl in the NE grown inside as house plant that can stand a dry heat. I have a Christmas cactus that I've had for about 4 years and it is in full bloom now..but I'd like to have some other plants too. Any help or ideas will be appreciated.

Winters are long full stop!!! I would not be able to live without plants and flowers around me, so I understand your need completely..

Hallo Rosetta - I am far from living in the NE, as I'm in the SW - (lol) but I hope I can help you with a few suggestions for house plants which may survive or even thrive in dry heat. Here are a few: Aechmea, Billbergia, cacti & succulents, Spider plants, Dracaena godseffiana. Rubber plants. Otherwise, if these don't appeal, you could increase the humidity around lots of different plants by standing your choice in a dish of small stones/grit with water in the dish. Hope this helps and you get your nature around you.
