Question
I am interested in starting to raise house plants, but I am not very "green= thumbed".  What would be some good plants for me to start with.

Answer
Janet,

This site has the best list I have seen and includes a couple of pictures.

I would really reccommend that if you have a friend or relative who is good with plants and has lots call them up. Go visit and admire their plant collection.  If they offer you cuttings accept them and ask them how you keep them alive. They will share their experience with you and you will end up with some free plants.

Once you get 3-5 plants let me know what you got and if you have any problems feel free to write anytime and ask questions. Good luck.
