Would you love to have beautiful plants
in your home or garden--but are too busy
or too lazy to care for them? Do you travel
frequently and need plants which can sur-
vive periods without care? Or perhaps you
commute between city and country homes
and must find a way to keep the plants in
each place healthy while you are not
there? If so, ~fi ;,:~!J~dc;v(?~:~is
for you.
Filled with useful tips to help even the
most negligent of plants lovers, this de-
lightful, illustrated guide shows how to
eliminate elaborate watering, feeding,
lighting and transplanting rituals--and
keep your plants blooming with almost no
effort at all! No more playing sweet music
to your African violets, or talking gently
to your bromeliad, or spending hours
misting your ferns. Here at last are prac-
tical, no-nonsense methods that take the
mystery out of plant care.
The key to successful lazy gardening is
choosing the right plants for your partic-
ular home environment. Step by step, the
book shows you how to measure the light,
temperature and humidity in your rooms
and then select the ideal plants for these
conditions; how and where to shop for
your plants; how to minimize the water-
ing and grooming needed. For those who
are a little more adventurous, there are
detailed instructions for fertilizing, pot-
ting, pruning and controlling pests--the
easy way.
