Plants create a welcoming atmosphere in any home, but choosing the right plant for the right place, and keeping it healthy is essential. The Complete Guide to Indoor Gardening, lavishly illustrated with 400 full-color photographs and drawings, not only includes information about selecting and caring for flowering and foliage plants, but also provides inspiration for creating attractive displays for every situation. This indispensable book shows you how to group plants, and stake them, with ideas for wonderful arrangements of every size and shape. To help you match the right plant to the right place, suggestions are given for various areas of a home, from sunny windowsills to dimly-lit hallways to steamy bathrooms. This invaluable book is a comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide to caring for your houseplants and includes advice on feeding, watering, planting, potting, propagation, pruning, training, and staking. All techniques are clearly illustrated with step-by-step photography. In addition, a separate chapter helps diagnose and treat plant illnesses. To assist you in choosing a suitable plant from the vast selection now available at florists and garden centers, this book features an up-to-date A to Z directory of the 150 best houseplants chosen by experts for their appearance and ease of growing. Inspiring and practical, this book is an excellent reference for anyone interested in growing plants indoors and in creating delightful displays.
