When they are healthy, they are also attractive and happy. Their foliage and their blooms depends on the health of the plant. Again, another similarity with people are the requirements for good health which are light, food, heat and humidity or water. When all of these components are in harmony, you have plants that are in excellent health. Although different plants require different treatments, the basics are all the same, but plants of the same family may require different treatment. treatment. Often people tend to think that you require a green thumb to be successful! with plants, but I don't know what constitutes a person with a green thumb. He or she is probably someone who has the patience to observe the plants m the home and get the feel of what thev require. One interesting thought that has been with me for years is the fact that the more I know, the more I feel that I. don't know and every day there is something new to be learned because plants are living creations and their habits change with' the different environments! .. . Light - All plants require a fully light condition. Light lets the plants grow properly with their photo synthesis, which is the growth process of plants by transferring certain substances into usable foods. When a florist selects his plants for sale he makes sure that the plants, especially the green foliage plants, have been conditioned before they are brought into his shop. This applies especially to plants that are brought up from Florida, which by law, have to be conditioned for 3 to 6 months in a greenhouse here in Canada, so that the plant becomes acclimatized. Sometimes this is not done and then the customer will have all kinds of problems, with leaf drop, yellow ends on the leaf, etc. So it's best to buy your plants from a reputable source. There are few plants that can stand right in the sunlight behind a window, since the window will magnify the rays of the sun and will cause leaf burn. The best place is to have them behind the sheers or curtains but still in a well lighted area. Flowering plants require more light than the foliage plants, so that their buds will develop and continue flowering. Windows facing the east are an excellent spot for plants since they will get the morning sun which is not too strong or too hot, but will give lots of light. The only two sides of the house to watch are the south and the west windows, since the sun will be very strong in these locations and also very hot, so the plants must be protected by the curtains, or by a wide overhang. Temperature - The energy crisis is a boon to the plants in the home, since most people will turn down the thermostat at night which is exactly what plants like indoors, the same as nature does outside where the temperature drops at night and then increases during the day time. Most plants like a temperature of 65 to 70 degrees, not 70 to 80 degrees as is the common temperature for most homes. That's why a lot of plants will do better, where the temperature fluctuates from day to night. More on this next week, happy indoor gardening. Patrick G.
