Inexperienced with house plants... is this too ambitious?

[2021ishere2021]

I don't have a great track record with house plants but I guess I have never really tried.

I am a keen cook and would love a kitchen garden. I have a small garden and is north facing.... we have a modern extension and a bare wall that gets some reasonable westerly light.

I would love this but am I being over ambitious... how do you make sure they don't leak water down the wall? Any tips would be appreciated

There isn’t a picture attached with your post OP but these are Christmas Cactus, sometimes also called thanksgiving cactus

In the summer you could grow nasturtium inside. The flowers and leaves are edible. They are really easy to grow.

You could also try chillies. They are really attractive plants

Sorry here it is, not droopy like the one you posted but similar leaves

Yes, that's a Christmas cactus. They get bigger!

You'll be able to grow herbs where you suggest if you think of them as a quick crop, to be replaced every few months. Buying growing herbs from the supermarket would be a good way - instant attractiveness (no long period of nurturing seedlings) - pot them into a larger pot when you get them, and replace when they start getting leggy. Soft hings like basil and coriander will do better than the Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage which are used to having sun all day. But just see what you can get away with.

If you're using hole-less outer pots, try putting a layer of gravel in the bottom of the outer pot - that will raise the inner pot above any water that collects in the outer pot.

I have devil's ivy hanging down in a hanging basket and trailing across wire in my kitchen.

I am sure that looks lovely

You can buy plant cuttings very cheaply on ebay, for a couple of pounds. I've done this several times to increase the variety of plants I have & they've always arrived in good condition.
