Yeah that's not gonna happen [emoji23]

Then don't worry about the bumps.

You will be lucky if there is any grass there come beginning of October.

indoor plants

i know this is a gardening thread, but does anyone in here know of any plant that is suitable for indoors display?

What sort of "indoor display"? Are you wanting greenery, flowers, how big, how much light do you have, ...

Added to that are you good at keeping plants alive?

Just over a week and it's growing very nicely! The soil is a bit bumpy but at least there is some grass, quite impressed with my efforts

Pictures?

A lot of indoor plants are very fastidious, they don't like being moved, don't like draughts, don't like being near radiators etc and the more exotic the plant, often the more fastidious it is. So, while those orchids you see in the garden centre look wonderful, you'll have your work cut out to get it to flower again the following year.

If you want something low maintenance I'd go for a variegated ivy or perhaps a spider plant. Both will look good hanging in an ornamental pot with their the foliage cascading over the sides.

If you want something that flowers, how about a Christmas cactus? They're quite easy to look after - again, keep away from radiators, make sure it gets plenty of light and feed weekly when it's in flower.

Variegated ivy and spider plants don't like full sun. So if the room is South facing you are going to have problems.

Cactii are easy unless the room is North facing.
