I've had a spider plant here since we moved in this past April, but I think it was getting too much direct sun there. I'd like to find a nice, full plant for this space (not a trailing type), but my houseplant knowledge is rather limited. Somewhere I read that direct sunlight usually doesn't go well with foliage plants. Too bad, I'd really like one here. But, I'm interested in some of the blooming houseplants, an azalea maybe? Don't want anything highly toxic (3 small children). I've posted a few pics to give you an idea of the space. What I'd really love here is a hosta :) But, I can learn to love houseplants, I'm sure. lol. Any suggestions out there? Thanks!
