Part One: Looking After Houseplants

Know The Basics

Each year, the popularity of houseplants increases and few people can resist having some flowering or foliage plants to transform their house into a home. Apart from creating color and vibrancy, houseplants have a therapeutic quality: they are alive and need regular, careful attention, generating rapport with people throughout the year.

Given the fast pace of life today, and the pressure it creates in our lives, the restful atmosphere that can be engendered by houseplants is essential. The range of houseplants is wide, including flowering and foliage types, as well as indoor ferns, bromeliads, cacti and other succulents, palms and cycads, bulbs, and insectivorous plants. All have different needs, and whether your home is a bungalow or a high-rise apartment, there are plants that will thrive in it. Some are native to tropical and subtropical regions, while others are hardy enough to grow outdoors in temperate zones but can also be grown indoors when young and in a pot.

In the directory of houseplants in Part Two, you will find detailed information about each plant’s needs, from warmth and light throughout the year, to watering and feeding, as well as how to increase plants.

Growing plants indoors is an all-embracing hobby. While some plants happily thrive on windowsills, others develop into large, eye-catching features that live for so long they become as much a part of a home as a dog or cat. Indeed, it is not unknown for long-lived plants to be given pet names!

Looking after houseplants requires skill and dedication because they are such a disparate group, ranging from plants native to deserts to those with a jungle heritage. Some have a limited life span, while others continue their display throughout the year.

Có những ngày mưa gió, ngày nắng chói chang nhưng khi mở cửa ra hàng hoa dại vẫn nằm đó dưới bậc thềm. Không nhạt không úa mà vẫn còn vẻ tươi trong như ngày nào.
