Without a doubt, houseplants are a perfect way to make your home cheerier, healthier (especially if you use plants which help cut down on air pollutants), more decorative and certainly certainly more colourful. Flowering plants in particular can help you maintain the feel of summer al 1 year round indoors -- even though the temperature outside may plum:met to sub-zero temperatures. Plants are also a relatively inexpensive inexpensive way to decorate and can help fill in difficult gaps and camouflage certain items -- like radiators, or awkward, awkward, unusual areas where nothing else seems to fit. On the other hand, plants; can also be used to highlight specia l areas of your home, like alcoves, large windows windows and landings. They c;z.n even be placed along the sides of staircases, for a dramatic effect. (Of course, this may not be practical at all, if you have youngsters or pets.) If you have a finished., heated solarium, solarium, you have the perfect place to create a tropical oasis -- even in the dead of winter. Almost any plant will thrive in this type of atmosphere, and with some wicker fum'iture and colourful colourful cushions, you ca'h create a special, special, tropical oasis where you can escape escape from the harsh realities of winter.

Estate Board © Real E state with Betty Smith FALLING FOR FRILLS Many purchasers go househunting in a remarkably casual way - and sometimes end up making costly mistakes. One of the mistakes a househunter, and frequently, the novice househunter, can make is, buying the Frill instead of the house. All too often someone will fall in love with an eye-catching feature and buy the wrong house. This mistake happens quite often and in all price ranges and to people of all ages. Purchasers skip over careful consideration of the MAJOR FACTORS because something MINOR has really attracted them. The lure may be the unique decor, a charming fireplace, a swimming pool or a hot tub, or even a flowering crab apple tree in a well-tended garden. Yielding to SUPERFICIAL ATTFi ACTIONS like these can result, in a buyer winding up with a thoroughly unsuitable house. Bear in mind that these same alluring features can usually be added to another home at a relatively small cos t, considering the amount of the over rail purchase price, The purchase of a home is the largest financial investment that mo st people will make in a lifetime.

A tree or grouping of tall plants can also serve as an attractive and effective effective room divider. For example, a ficus tree or group of peace lilies can look particularly appealing. When choosing plants, look for colours, textures and shapes that appeal appeal to you, then check with garden store staff to see what types of conditions conditions these plants prefer. (Many plants should come' with small cards which describe the amount of light, water and fertilizer required.) Obviously, a sun-loving plant like a cactus won't appreciate being placed in a dark comer. On the other hand, don't expect a shade-loving or low-light plant to thrive in intense sunlight. Also keep in mind that certain plants such as philodendrons, peace lilies and Chinese evergreens are sup- Check Before Purchasing When purchasing your plants, check the leaves for any signs of damage or insects. Many shops carry guarantees with their plants, so hang onto your sales receipt. If you see roots shooting out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the plant pot, it's a good idea to transplant the plant into a larger container with more soil. Most plant varieties require watering watering when the soil no longer has any moisture that can be squeezed out of it. However, plants like cacti should only be watered when the surface soil becomes quite dry. Never over-water or under-water your plants. Fertilizing can also give plants a boost. Check with your local gardening gardening centre, or consult some library books to see what the experts recommend. recommend. Again, it's important not to overdose your plants with fertilizer.
