With just a little care, the lovely and exotic flowers of desert and tropical jungle can be made to bloom and flourish in the home. This is one of the excitements of growing indoor plants.There are 56 species illustrated in this book, with full instructions on how to grow, propagate and keep them healthy, with a minimum of special equipment.The reader is provided with all he needs to know for the cultivation of an indoor garden; fragile and delicately-coloured orchids, cacti and succulents, the carnivores of the plant world -- Sundew and Pitcher Plant -- can all be grown at home.Such plants naturally require widely varying conditions, and their individual needs are carefully described so that the grower can select the ones most likely to flourish in his own house, whether it is centrally-heated, airy, sunny or dark.Here is not only a book of beautiful full-page paintings of flowers and plants, but one that the reader may make as much use of, in a practical sense, as he wishes.An excellent introduction to the cultivation of the rare and beautiful;, it will be enjoyed equally by those content to ‘stand and stare’ at the colour plates and more adventurous readers willing to try their hand at making the flowers live for them.
