Description

A practical companion for anyone who keeps plants inside, this guide walks you through the weekly rhythms of greenhouse, conservatory and stove care. From the moment winter settles in, it offers clear instructions on spacing, tying and watering cinerarias, epacrises, fuchsias and more, helping each species find room to flourish without crowding. The advice balances temperature control with gentle humidity, ensuring delicate orchids and heath‑like varieties stay healthy through chilly nights.

The book then shifts to the subtleties of stove and forcing houses, detailing how to keep night temperatures low, how often to mist pathways, and the careful watering that prevents shrivelling. It explains the modest heat and moisture needs of cherries, figs, peaches and vines, offering simple tricks for encouraging buds without over‑doing fire or water. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just starting a windowsill garden, the weekly layout makes indoor horticulture feel manageable and rewarding throughout the year.
