Book of the Day - Indoor Gardening
Indoor Plants for Beginners
Here, in words and brilliant color photos, are the basics of indoor plant care, presented especially for those who have little or no experience tending plants. Of primary importance is proper location—the best rooms in the house for specific plants.
You will be instructed about flora, native to different climates, that have varying sunlight requirements. Some hardy specimens are immune to drafts and temperature changes that will wither a more delicate plant. You will also find advice on when and how to water plants, as well as information on fertilizing, re-potting, propagating, and protecting against plant pests and diseases. A beautifully illustrated directory of more than 100 plants follows, showing everything from cacti to orchids. Each example is labeled with its common name and botanical name, and includes brief advice on care. Poisonous house plants that may pose a danger to pets and children are also labeled. The book's additional features include ideas for attractive and functional planters, advice on creating colorful plant arrangements. You will find nearly 300 color photos.
