Hello,
I have a question. My son gave me a hanging basket with a plant called silver pony foot (Dichondra argentea). It looks really pretty. I want to know if I can I keep it indoors next to a south window? Or should it go outside?
Thank you very much for any answers to my maybe silly question.

Lourdes: Here's the link to Plant Files telling about this plant. I'm sure it will make a really pretty indoor plant!

FYI
I just want to let you know that it did not work out. The plant started losing leaves and turning yellow. So out it went and it seams it is enjoying the porch.

Hee Hee ... Lourdes, I have many plants that are like that. It might say on a Plant Tag that they are only good in one location, but they prefer something entirely different! I hope you have great luck with your Dichondra Plant ... I've got many, many houseplants, but have never been able to grow that one! It just doesn't like me!
