I have a lot of big, tall, wildflowers at my house that are part of a field environment. If i put some in a big pot and brought them indoors, would they just die?

Most wildflowers need full sun for at least part of the day. Must houseplants are species that do reasonably well in shade.

So yes, they'd likely just die. You could always experiment if you've found some shade-loving species or if you have a window that gets full sun for a good part of the day.

Thank you! I suspected this but wanted to ask anyway. Sounds like some woods plants would do better.
