Tropical Plants

Suitable Plants

16 years ago

Hi,

I need some ideas for plants that enjoy a cool, dry, low light indoor environment. The cool dry air comes from the ventilation system and although there is direct sunlight, it's filtered through frosted glass windows. It's quite a large, open space, so a plant that will make an impact would be ideal.

Thanks!

Jessica, the problem is, frosted glass makes a world of difference.
You are talking about glass that, if you look through you cannot see the outside, and visa versa, right?
If this is the case, and since you're in Canada, this limits your choice of plants.
Please let me know if this is the type of glass you have..Toni
