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.

Arrangements - Arranging living flowers, like cut-flower arrangement, is always a matter of personal taste — there are no rules or restrictions except those imposed by the space available, and the needs of the particular plants you want to use.
You can literally fill a room with plants — or you can satisfy your urge for an indoor garden by growing a miniature jungle in a terrarium.
Every plant has its preferences as to light, humidity, soil, etc. These are the first factors to take into consideration before you decide what plants or seeds to buy.
Analyze the space you plan to utilize. Is it a north window? Do you want a spot of green on the mantelpiece? On an occasional table? In the kitchen? The home you give your plants determines to a great extent which of the many varieties you can use.
Some plants need a good deal of direct sunlight, while others will grow and sometimes prosper for years in a spot that is never exposed to direct rays.
