What a gorgeous plant, Louise! Like you, I'm not much for houseplants. First, cats. You always have to worry about what might sicken a cat, although my cats don't typically chomp on plants. Still, let's not take the chance. Second, the shape of our townhome. It's what we call here a shotgun house - you could shoot a shotgun from the front door and it would go straight through the house and out the back door. There are attached homes on either side of us, so all the light is in the front of our townhome and in the back. Plus, skylights in the living/dining area and the primary bath. Except for low-light plants, not much will grow in here. And, that's okay with me because, well, cats. It's better to live the plants outside!
