Sorry to hear about your mother and my condolences albeit it's a bit too late. Too bad that one of your plants was stolen and it's a great idea to keep some of them indoors.
Your transplanted Cretona is looking good and adds color to your personal space :) I think your idea of giving your living room a bit more green and fresher look is brilliant even when your neighbors say it would feel like she's in a jungle, lol!
All the best to you on your gardening plans and may all those that you plant will thrive well :)
