In this one-time course we will cover a brief history of house plants and the benefits they have to humans. We will also discuss the connection to the outdoors they bring inside and the qualities many house plants are chosen for. We will then discuss the basic needs of the majority of house plants including: garden pots, soil, window placement and light, water and nutrition. We will also cover plant pests, propagation, and controlled growing environments.
