They are merely practical hints on the placing, tending and training of plants which can enable the housewife or home owner to display his or her talents and personality and at the same time obtain greater value and reward from the plants in the home. Beside the little wine serving table in the dining-room stands a plant of Philodendron imbe, usually known as Burgundy because of the deep, rich, wine red of its lanceolate leaves and in the bedroom are several soft, intimate, dainty and delicate plants of African violets, seldom without flowers the whole year through. In the kitchen grow pots of quick growing and easily replaced chives and mint and the elegant cone of a little bay tree. They can help to link house and garden, to welcome the guest at the front door, bring a festive note to the party scene, comfort and engage the invalid, bring a note of businesslike austerity to the office or a tinkle of feminine daintiness and frivolity to the bedroom. They can add to the flavor of your food and prove both useful and decorative in the kitchen. They can bring charm and warmth to a bathroom and can soften and disguise the harsh and utilitarian lines of the loo. Some of our easiest and most tolerant plants are climbers. Regard, for example, the cissus, rhoicissus, ivy, several philodendrons and the dramatic monstera, to say nothing of the huge and rampant tetrastigma. All of these can be trained to cover a wall, to climb to the ceiling and follow the wall around the room. One tetrastigma in our possession once grew near the front door, climbed to the ceiling, was led along to the stairway, climbed up the stair well and was stopped just before it invaded one of the bedrooms. One ten year old cissus still grows happily in a Victorian washbowl without drainage holes. It frames an arch between kitchen and dining-room and shows no signs of its hardships suffered when building operations dictated its removal and storage, twisted and tangled like a cat-teased ball of knitting wool, for several months before being unravelled and trained once again along its almost invisible supports of cotton. Remember that warm air travels upwards and the area immediately under the ceiling is likely to be both warmer and drier than at foot level, so where plants are to grow tall or be placed high, increase the relative humidity of the room slightly for their benefit.
