Green cloth with bright gilt titling on spine, one small nick to upper edge. No inscriptions. 100 pages clean and tight. As gardens become increasingly smaller and overcrowded, indoor plants are playing a major part in gardening activities. But all too often houseplants occur in familiar shapes and sizes, the same flowers and foliage on window ledges in every other home. Worse, they are frequently in poor condition, hidden away in dark corners, exposed to excessive climatic changes or drowned by over-watering. Now Leslie Johns, with 25 years of growing houseplants behind him, and never less than 100 healthy plants flourishing in his Gloucestershire home, shows how to cultivate better houseplants, not merely sound ones, but those that glow and burst with well-being. Having grown plants in cities as well as in the country he knows how to cope with polluted atmospheres and places due importance on clean air, light and correct temperature. He discusses the normal range of world-wide commercially available houseplants but also deals with exotics such as simple orchids and bromeliads, and describes more unusual plants grown from pips, seeds and cuttings from kitchen fruit and vegetables. Many of the plants he has raised himself and here gives full details of their propogation methods which can be applied without the benefit of greenhouse or expensive equipment. Essentially practical, How to Grow Better Houseplants contains preventative and curative information on pets and diseases, and is illustrated throughout with photographs of individual plants, plus step by step sequences on propagation and planting gardens in glass containers.
