I'd like to cram a lot of greenery into the house.
And I'm looking forward to growing kaffir lime and other FOOD plants in 2016.
But of course! I can tell the difference in the air when I have all the plants inside - remember plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. Keep in mind though, if you get too many plants in a confined area, this can lead to carbon dioxide deprivation. It is very hard to identify, but one sign is that the plants just do not look right. (Heh -
) If that is the case, there are several products that "give off" carbon dioxide - even some big mechanical/electrical products sometimes used in greenhouses.
WRT growing the lime or other citrus - you can start them pretty much anytime. Indoors, they like to be near a window to get a lot of light. On Dec. 23, 2014 I started common Lemon and Clementine and they are outside now and ~ 10 inches tall. Some of my after dinner plants
Wife was using them in a recipe.
Don't forget: pineapple (top or seed), mango, avocado, star fruit, etc.
