Houseplants are a wonderful decorating tool
I again managed to overwater my once gorgeous poinsettia, neglecting to use the finger test to see if there was moisture at the level of my first knuckle. I banished it to the lights in my basement so that I don’t have to be constantly reminded of my failure. I have numerous plants throughout my house that seem to do fine, but some houseplants give me trouble. I am completely unsuccessful with African violets. Over the years, I have had many houseplants come and go and have learned not to bemoan lost plants.
The popularity of specific houseplants has changed in the past few years. Orchids, once rare, have become very popular and are readily found in garden centers and DIY stores. The peace lily, with its glossy leaves and white flowers, is found everywhere. Lucky bamboo, which is a dracaena, is a favorite. There is a big interest in architectural plants; the large plants that make a statement in a room. Plants are used more now as interior design items and not just as ‘green pets’ according to Dr. D.G. Hessayon in ‘The House Plant Expert.’
