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.

For the more experienced gardener, a really striking display can be made with a tray arrangement, in which a number of different plants are set out together, in individual pots, in one large box or tray.
This type of set-up can consist of anything from a specially built box to go under a picture window or on a sun porch to a small garden growing in a baking dish.
By grouping plants in a box or tray, you can really achieve some interesting effects, and with deft handling and wise choice of the plants you use, you can make a miniature flower garden which will bloom all year round. There are problems with this kind of arrangement, as we have indicated before.
Since all the plants are placed together, they must live under the same physical conditions of sun, humidity and, to a certain extent, water supply.
These problems are, of course, not insurmountable since the range of plants that will live together is broad, but a great deal of care is necessary not only in the choice of plants selected but in the handling once the garden is started.
The third planting arrangement mentioned, terrariums or Wardian cases, is a completely different approach to house-plant culture, and will be discussed more fully in Chapter 15, Terrariums.
Back in the middle of the nineteenth century an English botanist by the name of Nathaniel Ward discovered by mistake that many wood plants will grow and posper with little or no care if kept in a sealed container. Terrariums growing moss, ferns and lichens can provide a woodland in miniature for your home, and almost any glass container can be used, from a fish bowl to a cocktail glass.
From the point of view of home decoration, the difficulty with terrariums is that ...
