A couple of years ago I wondered if I could grow flowers inside my house. I knew it can be done but I don't have a particularly green thumb. Could I really do it?
Throwing caution to the wind, I bought a miniature rose bush, potted it in a medium-sized pot and placed it on my kitchen window sill. It thrived and bloomed! Over and over and over again. Two years later, it is still blooming like crazy. I think it likes the coffee grounds I put on it! ;-)
Feeling a little bolder, I bought a hyacinth bulb in a vase last year. It grows in water and requires very little care. And, lo and behold, it bloomed, too! The down-side to this plant, though, is that after it blooms, it's done. But I got another one this winter just because they are very pretty and smell soooo good!
Feeling my thumb becoming a tad greener, I bought a flowering bromeliad, potted it and placed it in my living room. It seems to be happy by the window and has a beautiful red bloom.
I am thankful for my inside garden - it brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart as it reminds me how creative our Creator is and that He blesses me with beautiful flowers every day.
I put coffee grounds on my outside miniature rose bush. It will be 2 years old in May, if it survived the winter. I never thought about growing one inside. Maybe I will try that so I don't have to worry so much about my outside one when it gets below freezing (which happened a lot this winter).
ReplyDeleteI think you should, Laurie! They are so easy!! Does your outside rose bush prefer one kind of coffee over another? Mine REALLY like Kona coffee - they have good taste!
