What kind of plants are good for a sun room?

I need something that will do well with a lot of sun, yet something that looks nice and colorful.

What kind of plants are good for a sun room?
You've gotten lots of good answers. If you use African Violets be sure they get plenty of filtered light %26amp; not direct hot sun coming in on them. They also don't like water on their fuzzy leaves %26amp; don't over water like I used to do.





Mist most types of ferns you hand'





Gerbera daisies in a pot do well in my sunroom %26amp; some are very bright brilliant colors like a fiesta.





You might go on line to nga.org %26amp; look up sun loving plants


for indoors. Draw an outline to scale of the sunroom space %26amp; placement of windows/doors etc. %26amp; begin a plan that can be done step by step if time %26amp; or budget is to be considered.





All bring color in with an indoor-outdoor rug, accent pillows, painted pots etc. Let your imagination go wild!





I bet it'll be gorgeous.
Reply:Sunlight and heat tolerant ones. Ferns in hanging baskets or any cascading plant [suitable to the room conditions] would also look great. African violets and coleus are hardy and colourful in pots. You might also like to experiment with herbs [for eating and looking at - some are very beautiful]. And lastly have you thought of succulents??
Reply:spider plants and Bamboo. The spiral bamboo is really cool.
Reply:If you want something with lot's of colour, then I suggest a Croton plant.


Croton plants are known for their bright tropical foliage, which is multi-colored and exotic in appearance. The foliage contains stiff leaves pointing upward and has a wax-like feel to them. The Croton plant requires moderate to bright light, so keep the plant within 3 - 5 feet of a window receiving sunlight.





Croton plant varieties require heavy watering as well as high humidity. Misting the plant once or twice a week appears to be sufficient for accommodating the Croton's humidity needs if you live in an area with low humidity levels. Keep the plants soil moist at all times. If leaves begin to fall off or slope downward, you are probably not providing the plant with enough water. If the leaves edges become wilted, this may be an indication that you are over watering the plant. Try cutting down on how often you water and see if that improves the leaves appearance. The Croton also prefers warm temperatures up to 80 degrees F.
