Out of her extensive experience growing plants under glass, popular author and broadcaster Anne Swithinbank has written the definitive guide to conservatory plants and how to grow them. The core of the book is a unique illustrated encyclopedic catalogue of more than 1,000 of the best conservatory plants. Selected for their attractiveness and usefulness, the plants are described in detail with full information about their cultivation. They are arranged according to use - for dramatic impact or as background, for seasonal interest or temporary display. Complete with authoritative practical advice on feeding and watering, ways of regulating light, temperature and humidity, and step-by-step propagation, the book contains everything the conservatory or indoor gardener needs to know to achieve success.
