The cultivation of house plants and plants in the greenhouse requires a different set of traditions and disciplines from outdoor cropping. Whether plants are grown in greenhouse soil or in a container on a windowsill, different problems will arise and new skills to combat them t hem must be attained.
Watering, temperature control, ventilation, shading and feeding regimes are all far removed in relation to plants growing out of doors but with close attention to detail successful house plants may be produced. Pest and disease control presents considerable challenges depending on the e nvironment and the type of plant in cultivation and this will also be minutely examined.
This is a very important DVD as most gardeners keep a number of plants in the house and/or begin the growing cycle of various plants from seeds or cuttings in the greenhouse. This will be the DVD on which most of the issues concerning propagation will be covered. The management of this growing environment is critical and hygiene extremely important especially in the early days and weeks of a seedlings life as it is then that it is most vulnerable. This will also be looked a t in depth.
House plants are constantly being moved around (inside and out) according to the season and it will be important to look at the seasons and the year round aspects of house plant or greenhouse p lant cultivation. The DVD will cross over well with the DVD on Containers.

1. Ventilation
2. Watering
