Are indoor ferns really so difficult to grow? The answer is no, provided you use the unique knowledge and experience acquired over twenty years of experimentation by Boy Altman and presented in this book. Tropical and sub-tropical ferns lend atmosphere to a room as well as being decorative. All too often, however, they seem to cause their owners more annoyance than they give pleasure.
This is not the fault of the Nephrolepis, Pteris, and all the other varieties of fern, but the result of insufficient thought and mismanagement. Once you have read Indoor Ferns, you willrealize that, provided their natural growing conditions are taken into account, ferns will do well in almost any house. This book explains in great detail the correct treatment for ferns: light, water, temperature, fertilizer, repotting - all aspects of caring for the plants are discussed in simple language, and with no complicated scientific terminology. In addition, each variety (about ninety of them are available) is discussed separately in summary form. Indoor Ferns is also lavishly illustrated with overl50 colour photographs.
This book is intended for every fern lover - and there will no longer be any excuse for letting an indoor fern die after a few months. Every room in the house can be home to some of the many splendid varieties, and all your care and trouble will mean that these magnificent, feathery plants will soon become just as popular as your other indoor foliage plants.
