| It is certainly possible although unless the conditions are close to ideal, I'm not sure how successful you will be or for how long. Plants that are native to temperate areas generally do not succeed well when grown indoors. Most indoor conditions provide inadequate lighting, low humidity, too constant a temperature range and therefore a lack of necessary dormancy or vernalization. That's why most houseplants are those that originate from tropical or semitropical locations - they tend to appreciate these restrictions more but even many of these would prefer greenhouse conditions. |
