House plants have but one
mission—to be decorative. But
our own blissful ignorance in the
selection of a plant may defeat
this purpose so that we shrug off
our failure with the excuse that
we have no “luck” with house
plants.
Given the right plant and a
basic understanding of the es
sentials that make for good
growing conditions, every house
plant will fulfill its mission.
As to the choice of plants for
window gardening. The majority
of flowering plants have but one
blooming period each year. The
beautiful specimen you buy at
the florist’s shop was taken
months ago by the gardener,
cared for hnd*stimulat3d until it
is in full bloom.
The gardener has controlled
the conditions of soil, tempera
ture and moisture regularly and
systematically, and has un
doubtedly told the florist all
about the care necessary to keep
his stock fresh and healthy in
the shop. Ask the florist about
watering,, temperature and light.
The clay pot with bottom
drainage hole should be set on
a surface that permits a certain
amount of air to circulate under
the pot. A saucer filled with
small pebbles or coarse ashes
or charcoal can be placed under
the pot. This prevents the plant
from standing in stagnant water.
If the plant is placed in its
pot in a jardiniere, this should
be large enough to allow some
circulation of air around the pot.
Standing water should be re
moved daily.
A plant potted in a non-por
ous container without a bottom
opening should have a good inch
of drainage material at the bot
tom. Large pebbles, broken bits
of pottery or good-sized marbles
are good for this purpose.
If you are sending a plant to
a friend it’s a good idea to en
close simple suggestions regard
ing its care. Should it be watered
from the bottom? Does it like
lots of sun? How much water
does it need? Should it be kept
in the coolest spot in the house?
These answers will prolong the
pleasure your friend has with
your gift.
One of the most satisfactory
bulbous plants for the indoor
garden is amaryllis. Put each
bulb in a pot only two inches
larger than its diameter. It will
last several years.
The begonias all do well under
any conditions and will bloom
all winter. They thrive better if
neglected a bit because they can
not stand overwatering.
Geraniums are another plant
• that resent too much water. Give
1 them plenty of water when the
top soil feels really dry. Then
remove all excess water im
mediately from the saucer under
the pot. With begonias they like
south and east windows.
