Hardy Houseplants

By Jo Bjerke
Master Gardener Virginia, MN

Wondering what to give your sweetheart this year? Try a hardy green plant for your special someone. Choose one that is tough and easy to grow indoors. Choosing the right plant helps everyone to develop green thumbs.

The golden pothos is almost indestructible, making it an excellent choice even for children. Its variegated-colored leaves range from creamy whites to bright yellows. Pothos is not picky about light or humidity levels. This vining plant can be kept compact by trimming back the growth tips. The cuttings can be easily rooted in water before transplanting into a potting mix.
