Guide to Growing Houseplants
it's easy to say (and so it's said again and again) that growing house plants is simple, and that indoor gardening is a hobby anyone can be successful at. Well, both these statements are true -- but both have to be modified a little if we are going to be completely honest about it. Let's look at them, then, a little closer.
First: Is it easy to grow house plants? The answer to that is yes - it's easy to grow house plants just as it's easy to build bird houses, or breed tropical fishes, or make your own clothes. It's easy if you are interested in what you're doing; and if you take the trouble to learn a few of the basic rules before you plunge in. If you enjoy watching the fruits of your handiwork turning out well, then growing house plants is going to be easy for you.
Second: Can anyone grow house plants successfully? The answer here is an even more unqualified yes. If you have the interest, and don't live in a basement with no light - or in Greenland - you can grow many, many plants successfully.
That's one of the charms of indoor gardening - the results you get are your own. Every room, every home, every plant presents its own problems, and when the home gardener grows a successful plant or a successful garden it is a credit to his own skill and ingenuity rather than his ability to follow someone else's plans.
The Guide to House Plants is rather a guide book, a book that is written to save the beginner (and the experienced home gardener) from mistakes they otherwise might make. It has been written to pass on to the amateur secrets that it took professionals years of experience to learn. It has been written to provide its reader wherever possible with the background information that will best enable him to get the most out of his chosen hobby.

As we said before, you are going to want to select the plant to fit the environment rather than the other way around. The range of temperature in which various house plants flourish varies a great deal.
Some, such as the majority of Begonias, Primroses and Geraniums, will live best in a comparatively cool setting where the temperature ranges between 50° and 60°; while others, such as the increasingly popular African Violet, whose natural habitat is the jungle of East Africa, prosper at room temperature as high as 70° to 80°.
In almost every home the thermostat is arranged so that the furnace is turned down after a certain hour every night, and as a result the temperature plummets. Unless the drop is extreme and the night time temperature desperately cold, this is nothing to worry about.
Even during their blooming seasons, plants in their natural habitat are used to a 10° to 15° temperature drop when the sun goes down, and so they do not react violently to a similar situation indoors. If the indoor temperature falls too low — say 25° to 30° below the normal daytime heat, then it is
