Growing multiple plants in one pot?
So I'm a newbie plant person and I got this plant that is slowly dying but I kinda figured this would happen so I'm not all that sad, but I now have this pretty big pot I bought for it and I want to make use of it. I was thinking of putting several different but smaller plants into the one big pot. To make matters even more difficult, I live in an apartment with no balcony and I don't really get much direct light...plenty of indirect light because I have a whole wall of windows. SO...1) is this a good idea to start with 2) any suggestions on plants to try....
I like the idea of an herb garden but I'm afraid it wouldn't be that successful because I couldn't get the direct sun those plants require, and I don't really want to purchase a sun lamp. Any suggestions would be great...thanks so much!!!

1. If your direct light is limited you may be up for a very big challenge. Don't totally lose hope though.
2. I would suggest ferns, typical foliage houseplants, or a tropical tree such as a palm or fig.
Limited light greatly reduces the production of flowers in flowering plants, so I would not try things like indoor peace lily's or begonias. Light also affects variegated leaves so I would stay away from them also.
I hope this information helps. Happy gardening!
Warm Blessings,

I have full sun about seven hours daily I have a pot that 25" in diameter and 1 1/2" tall I live in zone 9, and I would love to get some idea, as to what small showy flowering plants can live together in this wild heat.

Tomatoes choose quite a number of room and could no longer be grown at the same time interior an analogous field. even while grown in guy or woman field you pick a extensive - 18" - 24" pot and each and daily watering. Sorry sturdy good fortune

Don't give up hope for an herb garden. My home is VERY shaded...as in the 'shade' grass outside dies...but I've had success with keeping parseley, rosemary, and chives alive and well for several years.
