HOW TO GROW HOUSE PLANTS 
The African Violets and foliage plants listed in this catalog are all excellent house- 
plants. They have been selected as varieties that withstand the shade and warmth 
of normal homes. They supply a natural humidity to the home that is needed for 
people's health especially in heated buildings. 
Watering: Leave plant in red clay pot which holds moisture and place clay pot 
inside of decorative ceramic pot if desired. Or place pot on saucer or tray of damp 
sand. To water, fill sink with water and submerge pots until soil stops bubbling. 
Use room temperature water. 
Light: African Violets like an east or southern window. Plants receive adequate 
light near any window. Some as Philodendron and Chinese Evergreen tolerate 
deep shade for long periods. 
Temperature: Most houseplants prefer a minimum of 55-60 at night, with daytime 
10-15 degrees warmer. Some can stand it colder, and these are recommended for 
office buildings if heat goes off at night. Special requirements indicated in listings. 
Fertilizing: Most plants benefit from feeding with mild liquid fertilizer especially 
during spring and summer. Do not over-feed. Follow directions. We recommend 
Wilson's Orchid Fertilizer and Ortho-Gro. See page 37. 
Spraying: Inspect foliage, especially lower sides of leaves, for insects, and sponge 
off with warm soapy water. Do not wash hairy leaves such as African Violets or 
Episcias. 
Potting Soil: Our plants are delivered potted in correct soil unless shipper requests 
shipping out of pots. We recommend using any good garden loam (1/3) with equal 
parts pulverized peatmoss and sharp builder's sand.
