[Ag-eq] House plants

Nella!  how about ferns?  they grow well in low light conditions and you can get some very 
attractive ones.  I would love to send you the New Zealand silver fern and some of our others, but, 
perhaps that would be beyond me;  however, they may be available already in the States.   I am sure 
that the US has many native ferns of its own, and as you are planning an indoor fountain, you have 
everything that would make a fern happy!

Hello to all.

I'm wanting to create a small indoor garden in my office.  I would like to
have some plants, rocks and a small indoor fountain.  My office has no
natural light, so I don't know if any plants will live there.  Do you all
have some plant suggestions?

I also welcome any suggestions on designing my indoor garden space.  I have
3 shelves that hang on the wall  and that is where I plan on putting it.
The shelves are pretty wide.

I look forward to all your great ideas.

Nella

Jewel, are you sure the difficulty in obtaining one isn't because they are
invasive, so they're tightly controlled?
Though that doesn't always happen.  I was looking at currants to replace a
shrub that died, and I was all excited about it, but my research turned up
that they can carry a disease that affects other species, especially in New
Jersey, so they're not recommended.  Oh well.

If I had lots of space, I'd get a nut tree, like shagbark hickory, which
sounds real interesting.  Or maybe a couple pawpaw, which is a native fruit
tree.  Other people dream of big cars and yachts; I dream of nut trees.

Tracy!  I had been thinking  along those lines too, but, though that measure
of separation might be ideal for the trees:  if I stick around long enough
to see them in their full maturity, they will just have to accept that their
branches are going to get entangled.

The two replies that I have had from goatsplus, both were very negative; one
correspondent said that, in Texas, the thorned variety: I am getting  the
thornless:  are regarded as trash trees as the dropped thorns can cripple a
car, so if they can do that, what damage would they inflict on an
unprotected human?  considerable would be my guess, so they are grubbed out
wherever they are found, and the other said that they grow like weeds and
are very invasive.
I hope that she is correct on them growing "like weeds" because weeds grow
very well on TheBlanchRanch, and as to their tendency to invade:  well, in
New Zealand they don't, for if they did, they would be easy to obtain, which
they are not!

Hi Jewel.
I think what you need to know is the spread.  Then you'd know how far apart
to put them.  So, if the spread is 22 meters, which it might or not be, and
you put them 22 meters apart, I'd think, when they're full-grown, they'd
just be touching each other at the ends of their branches.  In theory.
You're so lucky.  I'd love to have some big trees, but I don't have enough
space.
Tracy

This is a variety of tree that I have been anxious to grow for many years,
but until a week ago, I hadn't been able to find a nursery that had them.
but now I have and am getting 4 seedlings.
However, unless I am fortunate enough to set up a new record for longevity,
it is unlikely, though not impossible, that I will see them through to their
maturity.
I have very bad luck at persuading vegetables to frow for me, but, to date,
the majority of trees that I have planted have done very well.
I see, from the web, that honey locusts grow to a height of 20m: 66 feet or
thereabouts.  I don't want to plant them, unnecessarily, far apart nor do I
wish to overcrowd them, so if any of you have had H L, what did you find was
the optimum separation?
