Hey Rachel with a Soon-To-Be Green Thumb!
There are lots of
plants, including flowering
plants that do just fine if they are kept right in front of a north window.
There are a few other things that you should be mindful of if you want to have success.
Avoid repotting your new
plants. This is the single most common cause of
plant failure with this who are inexperienced with
plants.
plants do best with crowded roots.
Water your
plants thoroughly from the top until a little water trickles through the drainage holes. Then don't water again until the surface of the soil dries out. This latter depends on the particular
plants species.
If your tap water is hard, use filtered or distilled.
Skip the fertilizer; it rarely helps.
Avoid temperature extremes - below 55 degrees and above 85 degrees.
Think positively and your thumb will soon be green!
