I am looking for some plants ideally edible or other uses, that can grow indoors.

I tried tobacco, pythaya (dragon fruit), aloe. But it doesn’t grow well or I have to wait very long time to have something from it.

So what is your go to indoor “useful” houseplant?

    I’ve grown some scotch bonnets, coriander and a few fruit trees from a seed but not with very much success. My lime tree was rescued by my sister, the mango by my step-mom.

    The only one I’ve managed to not kill is the dragon tree I have but apparently they purify the air a bit.

      I grown several plants of the dragon fruit from seeds. The one that I gave my mum looked after few months that it needs my life support, mine turned great and the one that I gave my grandma is huge. So yeah various success.

        Half the plants I’ve grown seem to always catch some sort of a bug that I feel like wasn’t my fault, but I usually say a plant has survived despite my loving care.
