Tell me more about these.
Do they die when it gets cold then, even inside a house and by normal ones, do you just mean normal geraniums?

Well,they have got through winter in our unheated house twice, so no, as a houseplant they do not die in the cold. I find the scented pelagoniums more tender, but in most inside situations i think they would cope.

By 'normal ones' i mean normal pelagoniums used as bedding, as opposed to ones sold as scented leaf varieties. The red 'bedding' pelagoniums in particular often have a great pelagonium scent, a little like turkish delight but fresher.

Edit, i do not know where the angry smiley came from, i did not include it, but its been appearing in a few of my posts recently:rotfl:

Howzabout an oyster plant - google to see it, ok with a bit of neglect or lack of light, or happy with fussing

My suggestion is a Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera). Undemanding and colourful during the winter months. Get a small one, repot it in a 5" pot with good quality, well-drained compost and it should fare well.

That was going to be my suggestion or a money plant as they grow from a single "leaf"
