{HISTORY}

Move over all you verdant shades of green green green houseplants. There's a whole colorful world of gardening joy just waiting to bloom, crawl and climb all over the inside of your space! With the ability to create just as much dynamic interest, visual stimulation, and gardening joy equal to any outdoor paradise, this book is here to bring some wild wonder into your home.

This Pocket Encyclopedia of Indoor Plants was first published in Copenhagen in 1969 by Danish municipal gardener Age Nicolaisen. Based on Europe's long-cultivated talent for creating gorgeous indoor gardens, this book focuses solely on growing a wide variety of flowering potted plants indoors year-round. 

In 1970, an American edition was published. The information was altered to suit the majority of U.S. homes that boasted indoor central heating - a  situation that presented a different set of challenges when it came to growing plants in a warmer drier environment than that of their European counterparts. 

In his guide, Age is candid about what works. Forget the lemons and the oranges and the grapefruit, grow a Chinese Kumquat on your windowsill instead. They'll provide year-round flowers and fruit and require less care than their citrus counterparts. If you have a sunny sill that gets too much sun and bakes the room each day add a potted passion flower plant in front of the window and watch it climb to sunshade heights all the while sporting beautiful purply-blue blooms. Looking for a plant that will flower in low light for eight months out of the year with frilly flowers and a bush-like appearance? Try a Brazilian Brunfelsia Calycina which blooms from February-September, at the least and year-round at the most. Throughout this book, Age offers all sorts of situations and solutions. 

No aspect of plant care is left uncovered. Age also explains the ideal growing conditions, light requirements, room temperature highs and lows, and nutrition needs for the soil of each potted plant. Special notes on trimming, propogating and caring for plants year-round are also detailed along with the possibilities of which ones can be moved around between indoors and out depending on the season. 

Beautifully illustrated by two award-winning Danish artists, Palle Bregnhoi (1933-2016) and Otto Frello (1924-2015), this book is overflowing with flowers on every page. One of the really great things about this guide in particular is that it not only shows the true colors of each plant and flower but also the ideal shape of what the plant should look like in its pot. If you were looking for something tall and skinny or lush and round or petite and flat, you'll be able to find exactly what you need just by perusing the illustrations. So helpful!

Good product
Scent: Scented, Size: 26 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This body wash makes my skin feel SO much softer and less dry. I especially notice a difference when my skin is feeling extra thirsty or Florida-weather confused 😅☀️. It lathers nicely, smells clean without being overpowering, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped afterward. The hyaluronic acid sounds fancy and skincare-science-y, but whatever it’s doing, my skin seems happy about it 😂 Just a really nice everyday body wash that feels a little more luxe than the price.

Hydrates even dragon skin
Scent: Scented, Size: 26 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
As someone who survives Northeast winters with skin that reacts like it’s being punished for existing — flaky, angry, and audibly crunchy — I can confidently say this body wash is a full-blown miracle in a bottle. If you’ve ever woken up in a radiator-heated apartment feeling like your shins have been slow-roasted overnight, this is for you. First off, the scent is light and pleasant, like what I imagine clouds would smell like if they went to therapy. But the real magic is in the feel - - - silky, smooth, and somehow more hydrating than most moisturizers I’ve tried. This stuff lathers like a dream and rinses off clean, but leaves your skin feeling like it just drank a gallon of water and booked a spa day. I’m not saying I have dragon skin, but if Drogon from Game of Thrones took a hot shower in my apartment, I’d lather him up with this and send him off glowing. Thanks to the Vitamin B3 and hyaluronic acid, my skin no longer flakes off like parmesan cheese every time I take off a sweater. Winter in the Northeast is basically a four-month battle between you and every heating unit trying to desiccate you like jerky. This body wash is your secret weapon. Honestly, it should come with a tiny cape. Five stars. Ten if you’ve ever itched your shin so hard in February that you briefly considered moving to Florida.
