    Indoor Plants Or Houseplants

    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Indoor Plants or Houseplants Over the past twenty years houseplants have grown in popularity. Offered in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, colors and textures, houseplants beautify our homes and help soften our environment. They have been scientifically proven to improve our health by lowering blood pressure and removing pollutants from the air we breathe. When selecting a houseplant, choose reputable suppliers who specialize in growing houseplants. Get off to a good start by thoroughly examining each plant. Watch for brown edges and spindly growth with elongated stems and large gaps between new leaves. Inspect leaves and stem junctions for signs of insect or disease problems. Check any support stakes to make sure they are not hiding broken stems or branches. Finally, make sure the plant is placed in an area that suits its optimal requirements for light, temperature and humidity. Where to Place Your House Plants With the exception of the very darkest areas, you can always find a houseplant with growth requirements to match the environmental conditions in your home. The most important factors are light intensity and duration. The best way to determine the intensity of light at a window exposure area is to measure it with a light meter. A light meter measures light in units called foot-candles. One foot-candle is the amount of light from a candle spread over a square foot of surface area. Plants that prefer low light may produce dull, lifeless-looking leaves when exposed to bright light. Bright light can also cause leaf spots or brown-tipped scorched margins.

    J. Plant Production, Mansoura Univ., Vol. 4 (3): 417 - 423, 2013 CHEMOTAXONOMIC STUDY OF FIVE MONOCOT SPECIES FROM NORTH- EASTERN SUDAN Wasfi, M. A., I. Madani and Fatima El - Mubarak Botany Department Faculty of Science, Univ. of K. Sudan ABSTRACT Alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes, sterols and saponins were qualitatively screened in different organs of five monocotyledonous species belonging to different genera: Allium cepa L., Asparagus densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop, Pancratium tortuosum Herbert., Kniphofia nubigena Mildr., and Urginea maritima (L.) Baker. Phenolic compounds were separated using thin layer chromatography to ascertain their relative phylogenetic position. Data collected from the qualitative phytochemical analysis, paired affinity, group affinity and isolation value reflected taxonomically significant information supported the inclusion of these species in different families by many taxonomists in the most recent classification systems. Keywords: Monocot classification, chemotaxonomy, TLC, phenolics. INTRODUCTION Monocot classification had undergone considerable revision in the past four decades particularly in recent years. Cronquist (1968, 1981) and Hutchinson (1973) in their systems of classification assigned the five species selected for the present study: Asparagus, Urginea, Pancratium and Allium to the family Liliaceae and Kniphofia to the family Aloaceae and both families to the order liliales . Dahlgren et al. (1985) placed Kniphofia in Asphodelaceae, Pancratium in Amaryllidaceae Urigina in Hyacinthaceae, Asparagus

    Medicinal Properties of Selected Asparagus Species: a Review Polo-Ma-Abiele Hildah Mfengwana and Samson Sitheni Mashele

    Chapter Medicinal Properties of Selected Asparagus Species: A Review Polo-Ma-Abiele Hildah Mfengwana and Samson Sitheni Mashele Abstract Asparagus species are naturally distributed along Asia, Africa, and Europe and are known to have numerous biological properties. This review article was aimed to provide an organized summary of current studies on the traditional uses, phy- tochemistry, and pharmacological and toxicological studies of Asparagus laricinus Burch., Asparagus africanus Lam., Asparagus officinalis L., Asparagus racemosus Willd., and Asparagus densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop to attain and establish new insights for further researches. Information used in this review was obtained from electronic database including PubMed central, Google scholars, Science direct, Scopus, and Sabinet. Based on the present findings, the existing literature still presents some breaches about the mechanism of action of various constituents of these plants, and their relation to other plant compounds in poly-herbal formulations, as well as their long-term use and safety. More in-depth studies are still needed for active compounds and biological activities of Asparagus laricinus, Asparagus africanus, and Asparagus densiflorus. Therefore, innumerable opportunities and possibilities for investigation are still available in novel areas of these plants for future research stud¬ies. It can be concluded that all selected Asparagus species have tremendous potential to improve human health and the pharmacological activities of these plants can be attributed to bioactive phytochemicals they possess. Keywords: Asparagaceae, Asparagus africanus lam., Asparagus densiflorus (kunth) Jessop, Asparagus laricinus Burch., Asparagus officinalis L., Asparagus racemosus Willd., pharmacological actions, phytochemistry 1. Introduction Historically, plants were used for numerous purposes for mankind in general, inter alia, feeding and catering, culinary spices, medicine, various forms of cosmetics, symbols in worship and for a variety of ornamental goods.
