Re: What are the best plants to hang indoors?

Some orchids are good indoor plants because they need low light conditions like Phalaenopsis and Paphiopedelums. They like 70% shade. However, they still need good quality light to bloom and require humidity. They also should never have wet feet.

Coir fiber wire baskets work real well for phalaenopsis. I keep mine close to the florescent light in the bathroom. I've kept them that way for a couple years. Admittedly I haven't been able to get them to flower again. Several sent up flower stalks but the stalks died before the flowers opened. It was neglect on my part. I was busy working and didn't give them the care or fertilizer they needed. It's a situation I intend to remedy this year.
