House Plants for Beginners Online Course

Houseplants at Suite101 is now back up and running! Please feel free to browse past articles, or post a message in the forum about articles you'd like to see in the future.

For those of you new to the houseplant craze, I recommend you take a look at my online course, at Suite101's University website, Houseplants for Beginners.

You can preview the Introduction, Overview, my Bio, and the Syllabus for free. You can also click on my link I provide for the book I recommend as the BEST resource for beginning housplant enthusiasts. The link takes you to my review, published at BarnesandNoble.com, and can be found midway down the page of the Overview section.

This inexpensive course includes lists, pictures and descriptions of best plants for each window exposure and area of your home; easiest plants for beginners; popular plants that are NOT for beginners; and best plants for Chronic Overwaterers! Using the discussion questions and simple quizzes, the student will learn about their personal growing style.

Altogether, feedback from students tell me this is a fun, easy course that packs a lot of information into the four lesson sections.

This course is considered an intoductory level course for several other Houseplant and Gardening Courses within the SuiteU School of Gardening.

Hi Jerri! Diffenbachias are beautiful, and should grow better for you, in Washington, than here in the arid southwest. I always have trouble with those plants, even though they are considered easy car ...

I like diffenbachias - I have a plant that originated in the 1960's and I keep repotting it and giving away plants, as it wants to grow out of house and home. I have two right now that need to be rep ...
