Suggestion for indoor plants.

[Mustansir Billah]

I have the same issue. I am thinking of decorating a path way in house with a plant that gives flowers all over the year and if it is fragrant that it will be good and it should be shade plant and it requires less space i.e suitable for 8 to 9 inch container. Please suggest some plants which sticks with the requirement or are nearer to it. Help would be appreciated.

Mustansir I dont think its possible to get flowers through out the year from one plant "as per my limited knowledge", but you could get flowers year round from different plants, you have to plan and overlap the plants according to their flowering time, like now its Hyacinth later it will be some other plants.
you got to have something for each season and swap the pots accordingly, and it also depend how much light your indoors recieve, the area should not be totally dependent on tube light or bulb.

yes but their is one option that could flower for longer (few months) and it suits KHI climate and its the most beautiful among all indoors "Orchids" but if you need fragrance then at the moment the option is Hyacinth.

JazakAllah Hamad sb. I think orchid is something interesting but do not know much about Hyacinth.

then take the step for Hyacinth coz this is the right time to experiment, all that you have to do is to buy few bulbs and vases, and follow the mentioned links, its not too hard and they are very fragrant, really good option for indoors.

I do not know about Orchids much. Where they will be available in Karachi? And Where can I get Hyacinth plant in Karachi?

[Izhar]

Orchids and other shade plants can be purchased from the nurseries at korangi road..

Izhar sb. Its a good idea but will it not be very far as considering the present situation of Karachi. Any nurseries nearer?
