I plan on keeping a plant or two on my window sill. Nothing big or gigantic, only something to make my small room seem a little more natural.

The window space is incredibly small. It's about 2 or 3ft wide and the height is about 1 or 2 ft. It's not exactly a window sill, since there's enough space there for me to put a plant there or even a ps2 (more like 4 actually, if I had that many). This area doesn't get too much light, but it's not a dark or dingy area, it just doesn't get direct sunlight. If I can, I'll get a picture.

Currently I have a very small money tree that's hardly a ft in length. I've had it since august and it seems to be doing quite fine, though I guess one side grows more generously than the other. The only problem I seem to have with it, is that it's growing too slow (had it since august and only one (5) leaf per shoot has arose) and the soil seems to have this wierd sort of fungal matter growing atop the soil. It doesn't look like anything dangerous, doesn't appear to have any spores or anything, and they're very tiny (again, picture asap).

Right well anyways. Anyone have any ideas for good, small houseplants that I can keep in this little area of my room?

Ty!

I have my Orchid in the north window, no sun..It prefers that. Christmas cactus prefer that.
Those small heartshaped vines love that window.Dont know the name.

I bet Impatient plants too.....

Sounds great. Thanks for the responses!

My suggestion is a coleus of some sort. They can grow in any light type, and are easy to care for. I know, from personal experience, that they can come back from even being uprooted a couple times. For some reason, my cats love them. But, they are very hardy and the one I got a couple years ago it overgrowing my room! Jut my input.
