RETREAT!   The winter has been so harsh maybe we should just accept our fate.

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland retreat to the joys of interior horticulture on this week's episode of The Growing Season.

Houseplants take centre stage as the snow continues to dominate our landscapes.  How to water and WHAT to water with kicks off the proceedings. 

"Snow Water" vs. tap water is discussed. What basic elements does rainwater contain? 

Which plant is the one that is the most susceptible to leaf drop due to winter draft?

You'd be surprised to learn what water you're able to use to water your plants.

Chlorophyll and houseplants are correlated.  Spielberg's Poltergeist is discussed. 

Birds and bombs and boisterous neighbours...

Cast Iron Plants will grow in the darkest of areas. How many houseplants do you need to purify the air in your home.

"Greenhouse air?" WHAT!?  Spider plants are great mothers.

Lemon trees, lime trees, orange trees and fig trees are all able to be grown indoors with great success. 

Orchids are the holy grail of houseplants.  

How would one get their cacti to bloom?
