Delight over a blooming plant can turn to keen disappointment if you don’t know how to give it proper care. You can feel quite resentful _unjustifiably so, if you mistakenly assume that all plants should live on in definitely, as do many foliage plants.
It is best to simply face the fact that some of the seasonal flowering plants are to be looked upon as if they [...] Continue Reading…
By a process known as ‘forcing’, which means to bring to bloom at earlier than normal date, you can coax a host of spring stars to flower indoors weeks and even months before you could have them in the garden. Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and crocus all need a prolonged cold period before they can be forced. Except for a commercial handler who uses refrigeration, this requires garden space. Even [...] Continue Reading…
Like an oasis in a desert, a tiny garden growing inside a glass container has an irresistible fascination. A terrarium invites you to paint your own scene, imitating nature on a miniature scale.
The dry, hot air of the house in winter is no handicap to plants in a terrarium, where moist air is trapped. Since the moisture is so well conserved, your garden under glass will hardly ever need [...] Continue Reading…
Green gardens that grow in a dish are fun to plant and pretty to look at. They are attractive as table centerpieces, or as decorations for an end table, buffet, or chest.
First, decide where the dish garden is to be placed on display. If it’s to be seen from all sides rather than viewed mostly from the front, plant it accordingly.
Select young foliage plants that contrast pleasantly with each [...] Continue Reading…
All cactus plants are succulents, although the reverse is not true. There are nearly 30 separate groups of plants that include succulent varieties, the cactus being but one of the tribe. And since it’s not always easy to be absolutely certain which thorny and prickly plants are true cactus, it’s safest to refer to them all as ‘succulents.’
Virtually all succulents thrive indoors in a soil mixture that’s half sand [...] Continue Reading…
Besides the use of house plants to augment the color and style of furnishings, they also can carry an important role as complements to the lines of modern architecture. Against a simple background for living, plants can introduce contrasting decorative forms that add visual excitement.
Living plants, as well as paintings and sculpture, can subtly soften and also in crease the appeal of geometrically designed interiors. The room [...] Continue Reading…
Take a tip from jewelers who know how to display their gems effectively _in brightly lighted windows. Plants, too, sparkle when they’re set in the showcase of your windows. Light makes the colors of bloom and foliage all the more glowing, and it is good for a plant’s growth (provided you choose in accordance with specific plant requirements).
A window garden can be part of the architecture, It [...] Continue Reading…
Almost any green or flowering plant is a welcome, fresh accent in almost any room _in the kitchen, dining or living room, or bedroom. But a good choice of plants together with the right size and color container can do more, decoratively speaking.
For example, flowering plants whose blooms pick up the hues used in the furnishings become an integral part of a total color scheme. By placing the [...] Continue Reading…
To show off vining and trailing plants to best advantage, place them where the softening effects of their natural growth habits will look appropriate. Younger, smaller specimens take to tables, window ledges, shelves,and plant boxes where they can spill gracefully over the edge and follow their normal inclinations. Older, larger plants, if too big for such placement, can be trained on a variety of supports, such as moss sticks [...] Continue Reading…
It’s easy to see why the geranium is such a popular flowering plant. Big heads of bloom look like gay, little umbrellas and their foliage has a spicy scent. They bloom indoors during winter months, and can be moved out to the porch, patio, or garden in summer.
Undemanding in most matters, geraniums won’t tolerate shade. They need sun each day, or they grow ‘leggy’ and refuse to bloom. Give [...] Continue Reading…
