Spider Plant
Many are put off by the name but these super cool plants are really easy to care for. All you need is a spot in the sunlight and to water them weekly. They will produce shoots, often called 'babies', which work well for propagation (if you want to create more plants!), they are easy to re-pot giving you more plants to fill up your home or give as a gift.

Indoor Hyacinth
'Forced' Hyacinths are great for adding a splash of colour inside your home towards to gloomy months. They are also fascinating to grow. You can grow indoor hyacinths in pots in soil or in Hyacinth vases that come in a variety of styles, this is my favourite method because my sons and i find it so fascinating watching the development week on week. It is important that you buy the correct bulbs for growing indoors so be sure to select a variety that states 'indoor'.
