This book gives a thorough discussion of plant craft with instructions for growing over 100 popular house plants, each illustrated with a delightful wtercolor rendering. Siol mixtures, humidity, temperature, light, water, fertilizer, pruning, potting, and what to do when you go away, are covered. A section on more ambitious growing projects includes bottle gardens, terrariums, topiaries, standards, indoor gardens, herb gardens and propagation. There is also a month-by-month calendar of care for your plants.
