Growing plants indoors may offer some challenges, but these links may help you to be successful:
Most houseplants grow well in warm environments, with temperature between 65 and 75ºF. Keep houseplants away from cold drafts, radiators, and hot air vents. You may need a humidifier to increase the humidity in the room, especially in winter when our heating systems dry out the air inside. To prevent drying out, place houseplants on saucers filled with pebbles or gravel and water. The bottoms of the pots should be above the water level, but the moisture will reach them. Actively growing plants need more water than those at rest during the winter months, make sure to not overwater your plants during rest periods. Fertilization is also not usually necessary during the winter months because most plants are growing very little or resting. Check the soil before watering, if it is still wet you do not need to add any.
