{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!

Great Balance Between Aesthetics And Performance
These acoustic panels, made from high-density polyester fiber, are well-crafted and provide effective sound absorption without the bulk of traditional foam panels, helping maintain a clean and modern look on the wall. Installation is simple—just peel off the adhesive backing and press them into place. For added durability, I reinforced a few panels with small nails. They’re easy to trim with scissors, making it simple to fit around outlets or customize a unique layout. At only 0.4 inches thick, they stay low-profile on the wall while still offering solid acoustic dampening for their size. While they don’t deliver full soundproofing, the improvement in room acoustics is noticeable—voices sound clearer on calls, and there’s less echo overall. The neutral gray color blends in nicely with most decor, and the textured surface adds a touch of visual interest.

Amazing soundproofing
I recently installed the Soundproof Wall Panels in my home office, and they’ve made a noticeable difference in reducing noise. The panels are easy to cut to size if needed, and the installation was straightforward. The sound quality in the room has improved significantly, and I no longer hear as much outside noise or echo. Plus, the sleek black design blends well with my décor. These panels are a great investment for anyone looking to improve sound quality in their space.

Good quality panels
These are solid sound panels with a nice strong adhesive on the back for easy installation. I do think that, for the price, it should come with more panels. That said, good panels aren’t cheap and these are a good size. Perfect size for what I needed them for!

Perfect for my company's temporary needs
Color: Gray, Size: 72" wide, 66" Tall
My company ordered multiples of these dividers to separate desks in much smaller temporary space we had to use after our offices were flooded in August 2023. (Yeah, I know - just getting around to reviewing them now!) These fit the bill perfectly. Granted a bit of privacy so we weren't staring at the employee next to us. Easy to put together; excellent value.
