Growing in the Dark. Houseplants for Cozy Corners of Your Home

Ekaterina Kuznetsova @spottykit — a popular blogger, biologist, author of educational programs on caring for houseplants. She has spent most of her life engaged in indoor gardening and helping people create comfort and beauty in their homes with plants. We have long gotten used to this, but here’s an unpleasant fact about our living spaces: they have very poor lighting, as the sun has to break through neighboring houses, awnings, balconies, or trees. All the plants that find their way into our homes become those growing in the dark. But this is not a sentence: nature is beautiful and multifaceted; the main thing is to know how to approach it! As you gradually start noticing the needs of your plants, you will imperceptibly pay attention to yourself as well. This love — love for oneself — can also be cultivated alongside the green garden in your windows. After all, only those who value and love themselves can share the life-giving power of love with others. And it seems that no one is as grateful as the houseplants in our pots. And I will teach you to hear what they are saying to you. Here you will find not only answers to your questions but also practical tips on how to make the most of limited light, as well as 30 detailed profiles of houseplants adapted to low light conditions. This book will make plant care understandable for you so that one day you can green your home with the most unusual representatives of the flora of our green planet.
