Plant for the kitchen

Hi
I d like to put a - low maintenance -plant in our kitchen but not sure which one will cope with the cooking that goes on in there. Any suggestions?

thanks

 

i moved all my cactus to the kitchen touch wood they have done amazing the last couple of years and a palm ,moved the palm into the sittingroom a week ago now it looks like a bag of sh**e

 

oh I dont like prickly plants like cactus :o

they are nice to look at but I wouldnt have one if you know what I mean...

 

How about a spider plant. Old fashioned yes, but pretty much look after themselves.

 

and spider plants are fantastic for asthma , pink finger you have now prompted me to introduce 4 chilli plants and a begonia to the kitchen and my awful looking palm has moved back in

 

Marley Farley thanks for your suggestions i do like ferns and the look of the other ones
A spider plant would also be good to put on top of the cupboard

thanks for your replies!

 

I have a very sunny windowsill in my kitchen and I grow a variety of plants there. I have 2 easter cactus, one pink and one red, there's an orange scented leaf geranium which is nice when you touch the leaves, and I have chives and dill which are small at the moment so I wont be using the for a while yet. None are too fussy and seem to like being in the kitchen. There are loads of things you can keep in there!

 

ive introduced a fuschia to the kitchen now as well,what have you started pinkfinger

 

Fuchsias need to be outdoors .

How about a lovely Orchid .

 

mothers had the same fuschias in her home for over 40 years so im afraid not sure where you get that theory from

 

Basil florishes in mine also primula obconica and streptocarpus.

 

Most outdoor plants can be indoor plants.

 

I knocked a small bit off the Swiss cheese /monstera plant in my living room and stuck it in some compost in a corner of the kitchen near a window. Two years later its almost 2 metres tall.

 

exactly my point lad
