"Plants are great. You’re going to want to own a plant and keep it in your apartment. Why? They can clean the air, increase productivity and most importantly, they will cheer you up. Honestly, when has a plant ever made you feel grumpy? Yeah, exactly."

Some of these I already grow!

6 Perennials That You Should Actually Grow as Houseplants This Winter

By Peg Aloi
Published on 10/18/25

"There are a number of perennials that can work well as houseplants, suitable for a range of light and space conditions. Also, many tender perennials (those that are not cold-hardy in most climates) can be moved indoors for the winter to keep them thriving. Some tender perennials go dormant in winter, while others may continue to display active growth.

Moving potted plants indoors for winter, known as winterizing, works for both annual and perennial varieties. The growth habits of different plants can vary widely, and some may have longer periods of winter dormancy than others. This is why it's important to do a bit of research before acquiring plants to prepare for their indoor needs, which may differ from their outdoor habits.

Below, we're sharing a couple of perennials that can be grown as houseplants in pots."

My partner misplaced my watering can, so I resorted to use my tea pot 😅

This is what a few of my friends and i do instead of resolutions. I find playing bingo is way more fun!

@houseplants @plants

The peace lily saga continues:

Not only did the peace lily produce seeds: the seeds germinated, and now I have a number of ever so small peace lily seedlings.

On March 2nd I sowed some seeds on a wet paper towel in a petri dish that sat in the windowsill.

On March 29th some of the seeds seemed to have germinated (see first photo — can you spot the tiny roots?) and the germinated seeds were transferred to small pots that were kept in a “greenhouse” made from a plastic bag to avoid dehydration.

The second photo was taken today (April 20th) and shows a couple of seedlings that have developed their first leaf. Match for scale.

This is a project that has called for patience:

The period from pollination to seeds took 4-5 months. Then it took roughly 1 month for the seeds to germinate, and 3 weeks later the seedlings have just a tiny leaf each. Things can still go wrong, but I'm pretty confident that I will end up having several mature peace lilly plants grown from seeds.

Meanwhile, I have cross-pollinated two peace lily plants. One was the plant I've had for 10+ years. The other was a “miniature” plant I bought last summer, that was meant to sit on the very narrow windowsill in my bathroom. I was naive enough to hope that some gardener had developed a miniature cultivar of the peace lily, but I was fooled: the plant was just a baby plant of something that has now grown into a mature peace lily plant. Latipac be damned!

Now I hope that the two plants are unrelated, and not just perpetuated clones, so that the cross-pollination introduces some genetic variability. Perhaps I am wiser at the end of 2024.

I wish y'all a peace(lily)ful weekend.

🕊️ Peace now! 🇵🇸 السلام الآن 🇮🇱 שלום עכשיו

Hello @houseplants and @plants 👋

Are you ready, guys? Now this adventure is getting really exciting:

More than three months ago I hand-pollinated some still closed spadices of peace lily (Spathiphyllum) — see parent post.

For a couple of weeks, one of the swollen spadices had become increasingly brown, and today I was sure there was no longer any connection to the stem or the mother plant, so I cut it off and broke it up on a lunch plate. (The three remaining spadices are still green.)

We have seeds!! 🤸

There may still be a long way to germination and plants, but undeniably having actual seeds feels like a huge progress. The pollination code has finally been broken!

Yay! 😸

Our spider plants are blooming. They are so beautiful and just in time before I re-pod them with fresh soil.
