Easy, simple, fragrant potted plants for the bedroom ?

I like the smell of easter lilies and gardenias. Gardenias are kind of hard to keep indoors though, as I have found.

Here's the type of plant I am looking for:

- A nice soft smell, not pungent

- not too hard to take care of (sunlight %26amp; water is all)

- a convenient size for a medium-ish bedroom

- maybe even flower year round





Any ideas ?

Easy, simple, fragrant potted plants for the bedroom ?
My favourite plant for a bedroom is one called Persian Violet, Latin name is exacum. Hard to find, maybe, they're usually sold as a potted plant though I have seen the seeds. They are compact and rounded in shape, have small leaves, small mauve flowers with a very subtle scent, they last very well indoors, a couple of weeks in bloom. And they just look right, indoors.
Reply:plants need feeding - not just sun and water - and if they need sun, they'll probably not like it indoors.



there aren't many fragrant "indoor-loving" plants - altho' there are fragrant orchids okay for inside.



you might be better off with flowers, or plant night-scented plants near a window, or put them outside during the day,inside at night.



(Nurses used to remove flowers from hospital rooms at night because they gave off carbon dioxide? - maybe someone can check me on this)



if you can get them and if they are suitable for your area, some night scented plants are: cestrum nocturnum, brunfelsias, Hylocereus (a cactus), Matthiola bicornis (night stocks) and brugmansia.
