Hi Marjo,Thanks for your message. Hope you find a good home soon. You can plant during the winter unless the ground is frozen but new plants prefer Spring planting and most garden centres get fresh stock in then. During winter you can plant bulbs in pots crocus, daffodils the little tete-a-tete mini daffodils are really nice in pots, tulips of all sizes to suit pots these are pots for colour in spring, most supermarkets have these already in pots but they do need to be outside. You can buy Hyacinths for outdoors and indoors these have a lovely smell. The indoor ones often come already planted up to enjoy over winter in your home, all you need to do is water them. I used to live in a flat and had indoor plants in pots like "spider plant" very easy going thin long leaves green and yellow strip then grows little plantlets off on a long stalk hence the name, nothing to do with spiders! so don't worry!
Bye for now TallTrees

Hi Marjo,
Thought you would like to see my "spider plant"
It is hanging outside as it is summery but won't be out much longer! It is quite happy inside.
Bye for now TallTrees

I have plants indoors during the winter @Marjo.
I have cyclamen, which have flowered every year in pots in the conservatory.
Hyacinths which smell gorgeous
Once, I also had an indoor tub of daffodils. They are a bit more difficult to grow indoors but give you loads of winter colour...
PS none of these are my own photo's ....just an example of what you can have indoors if keen enough

@TallTrees They ended up hotter then a lot of the shop brought ones I've had!
I'm planning on drying half, and freezing half of the remaining ones as I need to harvest them before the first frost.

Lovely! I can't have any plants (not even fake plastic ones) in my flat as my cats will absolutely destroy them and I mean smash, throw, claw, chew you name it. A conservatory would be so lovely @Cleoriff! Look at all those colours. Maybe I'll have a house one day in the future and have a conservatory there. It would definitely be filled with plants!
@TallTrees Oh yes I recognise that, cheers for the photo! I used to have a spider plant when I didn't have cats living with me. I managed to kill it somehow pretty quickly myself though... probably didn't water it enough.

Didn't you post a photo once of Drake or Arthur upending one of your tall plants in the flat? The dirt was all over the floor?
I may have got this wrong ...if so, forgive me Drake and Arthur for maligning your 'good name'

Hi there,
Looking around my garden I also have violas and pansies all grow at the end of the year.
These could be planted on top of the Crocus in the pot the crocus will grow through them and
they give you a flower now.
Hope this helps. Lots of best wishes TallTrees

Hi Cleoriff
Cyclamen are brilliant plants in every way
