Individual plant groups such as cinerarias, fuchsias, heaths, pelargoniums, orchids, vines, peaches, cherries, figs, asparagus and mushrooms receive specific advice on pruning, tying out, repotting and pest prevention. Practical routines including syringing, shading, controlled artificial heat, seed sowing and staged forcing are emphasized to maintain plant health throughout the year.
