set, here at last is the
book that reveals with
clear step--by--step in-
structions the way to
create a wide variety of
lovely, self-contained
gardens to grace any
room in the house. Geo-
rge and Virginie Elbert
renowned experts in the
field of indoor plants,
describe everything
the beginning gardener
needs to know about this
art, which is rapidly
growing in popularity
all over the country.
Why are these gar-
dens-in-miniature so
popular? Because they
need relatively little at-
tention, unlike potted pi-4
ants that require daily
watering and trimming;
the plants are protected
from drafts and sudden
changes of temperature;
plants need less light un-
der terrarium con-
ditions and city plants
are protected from aer-
ial pollution; they are
magnificent pieces of
natural furniture that go
wel 1 on everythig from
sideboards, end tables,
and coffee tables, to un-
used fireplaces.
FUN WITH TERRAR-
IUM GARDENING tells
the neophyte planter all
about the kinds of utens-
ils needed, the best
rock and pebbles to get,
and the soil ingredients
that give the best resul-
ts. There are invaluable
tips on planning the ter-
rarium, outlining the de-
sign in charcoal, laying
down the first soil lay-
er, building up the soil,
placing the stones, and
laying the valley floor.
In an informative chap-
ter on caring for your
terrarium, the authors
share their own special
advice for emulating
their successful techni-
ques; on special lighting
for woodland plant terr-
ariums, tropical foliage
