Indoor Gardening

This is a great book for the novice and good for the intermediate grower. It is in a large format with a lot of pictures. As the name says, it is a step by step guide to indoor gardening. . I would consider myself and intermediate grower (I can spot diease and pests and can start a plant from seed and I rarely loose a plant) and I found this book helpful. It walks the beginner through choosing a health plant. It also discusses types of pots and how to use them and soil mixtures and how to use them. It has a discussions on light and how to use it effectively, how to water properly, feeding (and topdressing), grooming, pests and many more topics. It has a very nice section on herbs. It shows how to grow your herbs inside from seed. It also has a nice bit on drying & freezing your fresh herbs. There is a section on the sunroom garden, growing orchids and bonsai. It is a good introduction to orchids and bonsai, but the serious planter will want to buy a book entirely on the subject or even take a hands on course from a local greenhouse. And there is the section called Houseplant Selections, which is a pictorial of the most popular houseplant. It is a good starting point for identifying your plants. This book won?t hold any surprises for the experienced person, but as with all books, you are bound to find some tid-bit that you didn?t know.
