Its a pretty cool experience to grow plants. Flowers are pretty rewarding. Here is my house plant, a tropical hibiscus that can't survive outside here. In the winter it tends to grow some forks and a bit of length 1-2 inches in various branches but does not bloom during these months due to lack of sun power. I keep it about 6-8 inches from a window in my home over a one of my heating vents, and I have a privacy blind which I lower (its one of those accordion with air pocket style). Which keeps it from getting seared near the window during the night. It spends about 4.5/5 months of the year fully outside once the night time temperatures don't drop below 50 regularly.
Anyways growing shit rocks, if you are a city person and have grown up in the city all your life. Growing some plants is not a life experience you should forgo on this Earth.
This is the winter growth I get on limited sunlight months. You can see the leaves aren't near as robust as they become when it powers up to over 9000. That is some cat hair as one of my cats uses the pot to reach the window sill.
