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.
