California Natives…Indoor Plants too?

California Natives…Indoor Plants too?

My new science experiment. Many of our California should be able to grow nicely indoors, especially our shade plants. I would think if they got indirect light and watered every 7 to 10 days. When watering maybe take them outside like orchids? I’ve tried this before but by day number 2 the family cat that these were interesting litter boxes and I ended the experiment. This time I’ve covered the top of the pot with aluminum foil as protection from our current cat. It’s now day t=4….at t=8 I’ll take this outside for a drink!
