146 GARDENING FOR ALL. 
There are numerous other plants which will last for a 
short time in a window, but I prefer to omit all such from 
my lists and to mention only those plants which will live for

USEFUL HINTS. 
Window plants require water, air, light, food and 
cleanliness. Always saturate the whole mass of soil when 
water is applied at all. 
Let the plants have fresh air, but do not subject them 
to draughts; a chill is as harmful to them as to yourself. 
Give them all the light and sunshine they can bear 
without apparent injury. Turn the flants round weekly.
