I have some house plants that I want to photo some like the orchids below can be moved so I can isolate from the background.
However I also have some very confused Christmas Cactii which are still flowering by a window and if I move them then they stop flowering.
The window does not look great as back ground nor the net curtain - any other ideas. Ideally using something I can find in the house.

Towels, sheets, plain wall, bits of hardboard/plywood, coloured card or paper , just get the subject at a distance from the background.
I use white card, black card , foamboard or coloured fabric whichever suits.

Interesting I thought that towels would look awful but I will try that.
 
Can you not just open the window? I would guess whatever is in the distance will provide a nice blurred background.
