TROPICAL AND FOLIAGE HOUSEPLANTS J - M

We offer a wide range of indoor plants, both new varieties and some old reliables. Except where noted, culture for these plants is similar. They need normal house temperatures, as much light as possible without full sun (except in winter) and as high a humidity as can be maintained. Use a little fertilizer every week and prune to keep in shape. Do not overwater. Never water a plant if the top of its soil is still damp.

Price $4.00 unless otherwise noted. Cuttings may be available for $2 – please inquire first.
