{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!

Extra Privacy and Aesthetics for what you need
Color: Natural - Rectangle, Size: 6-panel
I've had it for 3 months now and it's still very sturdy. It's so pretty for the aesthetic of my room. A perfect divider from my bed to my window so i get extra privacy at night. I have a small room so it almost goes across it if i fan it out. Stands up really well and i can maneuver the shape of it too if i want to split more of the room or push it back to expand the room. Worth the money

Very nice and attractive

It’s very pretty and super functional. The pics I took are in the morning when it is dark outside but I have a light on in my workout space. It’s taken from both sides and it really provides nice privacy. We are very happy with it.

Great quality and solved my space problem
Color: Natural - Rectangle, Size: 6-panel
I bought this room divider to separate my bedroom and create a private area for my clothing racks. It completely exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent, the material feels sturdy, and it arrived in perfect condition. The delivery was also very fast, which was a big plus. What I loved the most is how well it works as an actual divider. I opened it almost all the way, leaving just a small fold, and it sits exactly the way I wanted. For extra stability, I added double sided tape on the floor, and that kept everything perfectly in place. Overall, it did exactly what I needed. It looks beautiful, it is functional, and it helped a lot with organizing my space. I definitely recommend it.
