Re: Where have all the house plants gone?
I wonder if that is because the death rate of indoor plants is too high?
With outdoor annuals and azaleas you can get anyone to run a hose over them to
provide water. That is not so easy with African violets and other indoor
plants which tend to have specific watering requirements, get more bugs, and
need extra light sources to keep presentable.

For the past two winters, neither my local small nurseries, nor any of
the box stores has had anything other than 10-inch palms, Poinsettias,
Cyclamen, and a couple of obligatory orchids. Home Depot had three
African violets, only one of which was in bloom, which I purchased out of
desperation.
