Hello everyone, my name is Nae'. I'm a newlywed & a 1st time home owner & new to gardening. The house we bought has sooooo many flowers & shrubbery popping up all over the yard. It's amazing but I have no idea what most of them are. Friends have loaned me books to identify some of them so that helps. My question to you is that I would love to have some plants indoors but don't know what kind to get. I was told to keep them low maintainence. We do have 2 small dogs who will "piddle" on potted plants that are on the floor, and 2 cats who may munch on plants that are within their reach. So, basically what I'm looking for would be hanging plants and those that could sit atop high cabinets. I really want to put one in the bathroom & have been told a Boston fern. My goodness, I guess ANY & ALL suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to gardenhelper. Hope you have fun here. Just hint, walk thru walmart and see the Philodendren vine, Lots of those can be hanging. Or the spider plant. What part of Iowas are you from? Visited Iowa many times.

Hi Dodge, I'm from the southern part of Iowa. Born & raised. We drove through Penn. on our way to New Jersey a few times. Never got a chance to stop & look around. Thanks for the info on the Philodendron vine, I will take a look.

Welcome!! You will learn SOOOO much here! I agree- Philodendron is good as are Spider plants. They are fairly low maintenance and pretty hardy! Congrats and good luck!

I'm a newly wed and a new gardener too! It'd be nice to be able to share any new suggestions brought to each others attention I think; would you like to do that?
Congrats to being newly married- isn't it wonderful! Take care and I hope to talk to you soon!
