How about putting some new house plants inside for the winter? There are some great plants that are EZ to care for.

The first is one of my favorites. The ZZ plant or Zamioculcas zamiifolia. Great plant and SUPER easy to care for. http://www.plant-care.com/zz-zamioculcas-zamiifolia.html

Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana-Needs more light and sun. Flowers really brighten a sunny kitchen window http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Crassulaceae/Kalanchoe_blossfeldiana.html

Polka Dot Plant Hypoestes Phyllostachya http://www.fiskars.com/US/Garden/Dig+In!/Did+You+Know%3F/Houseplant+Guide/Houseplant+Detail?contentId=87248
