Q: Why is it important for soil to be aerated?
A: Air circulating through the spaces around the soilparticles promotes growth of roots and is important tothe existence of soil organisms.

Q: My house is very dry and I seem to have to water myplants all the time. Is there any way to cut down on thischore?
A: Here are three ways to reduce evaporation:
(1) Pot plantsin nonporous containers.
(2) Set each clay pot inside a rathertight-fitting glazed container, but be careful not to overwater.If you do, you're likely to create a stagnant pool in the bottomof the outer container and this may soak up into the clay potand rot the roots.
(3) Set each clay pot inside the next-size larger clay pot, and fill the space between with sphagnum mosswhich is kept damp.---And all of this is still just a tiny fraction of the informationinside "1001 House Plant Questions Answered". At a glanceyou'll know "every trick in the book" to:
