Native hawaiian plants suitable for growing indoors - in Norway?

15 years ago

Hello everyone, I am a woman from Norway with a great interest in everything native Hawaiian, including plants. Maybe I should post this at the Hawaiian gardening forum, but I'll try here first:

Are there any native Hawaiian plants, e.g. like the ohia lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha), that can be grown successfully indoors? Where is it possible to get hold of seeds?

Mahalo :-)

There are many Native Hawaiian plants that could be grown indoors, if you have the temperature, light levels and lack of cold drafts. EBay is a good source.
