Houseplants are meant to bring joy. This collection, originally published on Facebook, opens the door to this world of joy. I offer a no-frills approach to choosing and keeping indoor plants. My advice covers the ordinary tropical houseplants, cactus and succulents, bromeliads, and orchids. My approach is simple. I do not bombard readers with facts. My goal is to get spread the word. Good growing!
