Modern Art Plant: It is the gardener's task to make use of the weather as much as possible. Temperature directly influences the rate of plant growth. The fastest growth will take place at the higher temperature limits of an individual plant's tolerance. A plant classified as tender will not endure temperatures below 32°F (0°C). A half-hardy plant can stand a few degrees of frost, but not a cold winter. By contrast, a hardy plant can tolerate considerable cold. Naturally, the degree of hardiness varies from plant to plant. How well a plant grows in an area depends largely on its native climate and on how easily it can adapt to its new environment.The vases, plant pots, china and glassware are defiantly modern art plant, helping to bring the room up to date and balance out its traditional elements. A huge Mirror breaks up the wallpaper pattern while oversized vases look sensual and modern art plant. Pretty china and bubbly blue glasses add some fun to what might otherwise be a very grown-up look.
In addition to their light requirements, plants need adequate moisture in the air. Except for desert varieties, all plants grow best where the relative humidity is 40% and over and are adversely affected by air drought where the relative humidity is under 20%. Before buying a plant, one should learn its botanical name, for its common name may be used for several different plants. Knowing the correct name of a plant enables one to learn about its culture by consulting a reference book or a plant dealer. Before buying, one should examine the plant for insects and diseases. This does not mean, however, that one should always reject a plant because it has a few yellow leaves, for all plants lose old leaves now and then. If the plant is bought on a cold day, it should be wrapped well to prevent it from being nipped by frost on the way home. On a hot day, plants should not be placed in the trunk of a car because they may be damaged by heat. |
