Why do we decorate our homes? To please the eye, refresh the tired spirit, and make life more livable. To exercise our right to the intelligent expression of individuality. And as a matter of perfectly proper pride, to merit the admiration of friends and guests.

To decorate with plants is not new; but to use them with artistry is one of today’s most satisfying trends. Windows with stiff rows of assorted pots are giving way to well-planned indoor “gardens” – often with fluorescent light substituting for natural daylight.

Architects and interior decorators, in their designs for homes, factories, banks, and other buildings where a pleasant public relationship is important, are providing places for decorative plants like the eugenia topiary plant – and even more laudable, providing for growing conditions that keep the plants healthier and more attractive. Illustrations for advertisements and articles on interior decoration include living plants more often than not. And the business of producing these plants in increasing variety is growing bigger.

No matter how much is written on the subject of using plants decoratively, there is always room for one more new and useful idea, for another viewpoint with which to agree or disagree, and for additional practical inspiration. In the vast variety of vines and hanging plants the possibilities are unlimited and sometimes unexplored.

Vines have graceful, softening lines, of value to all kinds of architecture, all types of landscapes, and particularly to the emerging new category of “container gardening.” Combining these elements – gardening and decorating, indoors and out, with vines, hanging plants, and containers – leads to the conviction that here is an exciting new source of inexpensive, soul-satisfying ways to make the home more attractive and livable.
