Moringa Plant and Banana Inside the House

Just so amazed when I saw a post in FB about a plant enthusiast (we call them plantito/plantita) who potted moringa and banana plants then placed them in her living room. It's so funny sight! But I respect her because it can make her happy and less stressed due to the ongoing lockdowns. She has to take it out to the sun after a few days so it can survive indoor.

It is so practical to do it in countries like yours who have different seasons; to protect those sun-loving plants.It becomes weird here because we have sunlight all year round.

@crazyhorseladycx yes, plants follow the light so you can turn it around so you can get your desired shape for it.

@acelawrites true. I'm sure the press are quite bigger than usual. That is so funny

Maybe about three to four ft.So uncommon in our country to see such practice.

They do need sunshine. Anything that brings us joy is worth doing especially these days.

I would love to plant Moringa here in my living room if I can find seeds.
