- Title
The World of Gesneriads Why in the world are they not more popular?
- Authors
Beaulieu, John
- Abstract
The article examines factors behind the gesneriad's lack of popularity compared to other houseplants. According to the author, the biggest obstacle preventing wide popularity of gesneriads is the name itself, since most gesneriads do not have common names that the public can identify them with, and those with common names are still confusing. There are different kinds of gesneriads, including those with vining or trailing tendencies which can be grown in hanging baskets.
