My sister had told me to grow bamboo, but I really would rather see blossoms instead (plus I have no idea how to care for bamboo, in relation to flowering plants). What would be the plants that would survive best between an 80-90 degree outdoors and a 65-70 degree indoors? Any suggestions? ... (Asked by hopeful for change)

You can try silk pansies! Or a spider plant, lol, which I had at my old apt, it does flower little white flowers. Possibly mini roses as well! I don't have too much of a green thumb but maybe those are some ideas. Also bamboo is nice and brings luck so they say! I have had that as well before, it is easy to care for, but no pretty flowers really. Good Luck! :)...(Answered by ღDreaming Lilyღ)
