    Thanks for the answer.

    Will all these be good in direct sun?

    Your welcome for now yes but as sun gets hotter some shade or pop plants outdoors .


    And remember to feed and water any houseplants.

    You could also try something scented like jasmine, and there are always the cactuses most of which have fab flowers and will put up with the sun.
