What plant is everyone growing indoors that produce flowers? What are your care instructions? What plant is it? What size pot? How often do you water? Is it right in the window with full sun or is it in a room with no sun? Do you give it plant food?

I've been giving my Uros bee pollen in place of any nutrients they would get from eating flowers. I have day lilies and other safe flowers outside but I also have a male dog that marks everything and neighbors that fertilize their grass so I'm scared to feed anything from the outside.
I took a day lily and violet inside but they started dying within a few days. I have a few small geraniums inside that seem to be doing fine but havent produced any flowers yet.
I'm not exactly a green thumb kind of person so I dont know if its my care or if the inside just kills certain plants.
Has anyone has success indoors?

nasturtium. grows anywhere lol. viola will grow indoors too.
they are easy to grow in a medium size planting pot for two seeds. if they both germinate remove one and repot it. i mist all my plants daily but you can water them every other day or so. the care for them really isnt difficult.
give them time, they will eventually flower. keep them on a window seal.

make sure your using peat free compost thats rich for seedlings. even if the plant it mature it will benefit from good compost.

mustard flowers really easy indoors. super easy to care for, they just need to be well watered and get part shade. i leave mine on the window seal but im in the uk so sunshine is not so intense lol though its scortching here at the moment and they are still fine.
