Anyone can have a “green thumb"—it's no mystical power, but just a matter of having a little plant care know-how’ Here’s some ad vice for keeping your house green all year long • Make sure you start out with healthy specimens Look out when plants aren't perky and for any signs of pests, like webs or dried-out brown spots on leaves • Think about your home s lighting before you buy a plant If you get little light, for instance, an African violet won t thrive (unless you grow it under artificial light) • Feed your plants Soil has some nutrients, but they may not be enough or the right kind to make leaves their greenest or to make plants bloom. But make sure you get the kind that’s right for your plants. For instance, the House In Bloom line, which you’ll find displayed in your supermarket, is the con vement way to mistake proof plant care It includes four kinds of plant food you just spray into the soil for flowering plants, for foliage plants, for African violets, and for people who want an organic food with no chemicals • See that you’re using the right pot size When roots fill the pot, the plant can’t grow, if you use too big a pot, roots can become soggy
