Every outdoor plant can be an indoor plant with enough effort
In my hydroponics setup I grow a variety of salad greens. I’ve been slowly adding plants trying to find the right amount to where I can have a fresh salad every day without throwing away a ton of excess. It’s a neat conversation piece and I enjoy having the option.
Peppers can be grown indoors, and the leaves are also edible.
Tomatoes can be grown pretty successfully indoors. Also prickly pear.
Hosta is a good one.
I never thought of that as an inside plant tbh.
Monsteria deliciosa is pretty decent too
Wow, I had no idea they had fruit! Looks like a giant pinecone cucumber.
Whaaat, I have a decently-sized monstera at home and I didn’t know this either! I’m going to see if I can convince it to fruit !
I’ve had some for years and didn’t even know they could flower or fruit, kind of sad :(
From what I have gathered, they need to experience sustained hot and humid tropical-like weather to be convinced to flower… So it can be tricky!
Have a extra read on how and when to eat it ;)
*edit wrong word
They can only be eaten as the sections ripen and fall off. They may also need prolonged cooking due to calcium oxalate, like taro.
What? What parts are you eating? I’ve eaten the fruit, raw, and nobody ever told me it needed cooking
The fruit on mine are high in calcium oxalate, it’s painfull to eat raw.
EDIT: I have since found that mine may be a Philodendron.
Getting one to produce fruit indoors would be quite a feat.
I have a Lamb’s tail, Anredera cordifolia, growing in a fairly low-light spot in my living room. Much of the plant is edible, the flavour is reminiscent of spinach.
You can grow microgreens, and other green, leafy vegetables with the right conditions: full-spectrum light, deep enough soil, and keeping the soil moist. Lettuce and cabbage are very easy to grow.
