Indoor Fig Plants
It will cost practically nothing to purchase a tradcscantia in a pot to decorate the nearest window-sill, but it may involve the owner in a considerable outlay if the entire office area is to he landscaped with indoor plants. The window-sill plant is usually the property and responsibility of the person working in the vicinity and need not involve any expense.
Philodendron hastatum, tuxla, Burgundy and lacineatuni are examples. Hederas, rhoicissus and such like may also be grown to considerable size, but they lack the majestic appearance of the plants.
The dry conditions created by the often too-high temperatures of the modern office is the principal reason for plants deteriorating. Exposure to excessive sunlight through unprotected glass can also be harmful to many of the shade-loving plants.
In this way the plant can draw up all the moisture required and there should be much less need to water the actual compost in which the plant is growing. It is easy to care for if treated in the same way as the monstera.
But if a plant collection is to he kept, it should be looked after and removed when, as so often happens, the plants have died and the collection becomes little more than one of flower pots with dry, baked compost and no plants in sight.
Plants take on tree proportions with many branches when fully developed, and a height of some 30 ft. in dustbin-sized containers is quite possible.
