Successful Houseplants: Advice on Choosing, Displaying, and Caring for a Fabulous Variety of Stunning Indoor Plants

FROM THE PUBLISHER

There is now a wide variety of houseplants available for the indoor gardener, but making the most of them, and helping them to thrive, is not always easy. This book is both a comprehensive guide to selecting the best houseplants for you and your home, and a manual to help you care for them to the best advantage.

The book begins with a comprehensive look at what kinds of foliage and flowering plants are available as houseplants, where to shop for them, and how to choose the best specimen. There is then expert advice on where each variety does best, how to feed, water and doctor your plants, and guidance to the best tool and equipment you will need on hand.

As well as innovative ideas on positioning, the book also offers step-by-step houseplant displays to create yourself, such as indoor topiary, a beautiful bottle garden and an aquarium of meat-eating plants. Success with houseplants depends a great deal on placing and grouping them properly and this book offers a wealth of advice on display, with ideas on unusual containers and customized pots, the use of light, and how minor changes can dramatically alter a plant's effect.

Finally, there are practical techniques for taking cuttings, dividing and layering, and an indispensable guide to nurturing your plants through the winter and while you are away. With over 300 photographs and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, Successful Houseplants is a must for anyone who enjoys indoor gardening and who wishes to transform their home with healthy, attractive plants.
