I am not all too knowledgeable about plants and wanted to try my hands with planting seeds and growing them indoors!
For a bit more Context, the plant pots themselves have a Water reservoir underneath and will be Wall Mounted directly over a heat producing TV. While the room itself is quite light flooded, the spot where I’ll put them won’t get any direct sunlight, though still plenty of general light.
I should also note that since I haven’t had the best track record with plants, its best if the plants themselves are resilient for over or underwatering at times.
I also recon a hang plant would look the best, but im open for any recommendations from you folks! Thank you!
Make a little succulent garden or even an herb garden: Herbs are easy to grow and can replenish themselves as you use them!
Zz and snake plants are also very forgiving and would do well in the light conditions you describe. Snake plants grow as straight upright blades. Zz plants grow in more of fanning structure.
A mix of pathos and zz plants could be pretty nice having both semi upright and trailing foliage but could look a little on the messy side.
Don’t hesitate to plant a variety. You may find success with some and not with others. In addition to pothos, you might try spider plants or small ferns. If you have a local nursery, speak with someone who works there and see what else they recommend. Make sure you use an indoor potting mix, and fertilize occasionally with a liquid fertilizer per the instructions on the container. Hold off on fertilizing at first after transplanting.
Herbs are easy and useful in the kitchen. Thymes, Rosemary, maybe Lavender are pretty forgiving and easy to grow from seeds Oh and nasturtiums, super easy to grow, beautiful flowers which you can use in salads (the are a bit spicy like cress) and they give you tons of new seeds at the end of the season, which you can plant the following year. Other than that just have fun and try stuff.
Depends on where you are putting these, and where the light source is. If they are going to be alongside a south facing window or you plan to use grow lights, you could get some higher light plants like succulents, and herbs but that also is a pretty deep pot and succulent and cacti don’t have large root wads, so they could get overwatered easily.
I would say for bright indirect light a combination of heart leaf philodendron varieties like brasil, neon, micans look great cascading down the wall, scindapsis (also called satin pothos but isn’t has a lovely texture). Also pothos others mentioned but I like the form of the others better. Not sure how high above the tv these would be but they would have to be pruned back or they would cover the tv, also up higher on the wall generally you have less light unless you have skylights or floor to ceiling windows. Spider plants wouldn’t get super long but would drape over, you could also look at tradescantia varieties they can tolerate a little lower light.
You would buy these as plants not typically seeds. You can find pretty grown out plants at big box stores but even better check out your local nursery or plant shop.
