Brilliant reads to enjoy over the weekend In Love

Brilliant reads to enjoy over the weekend
In Love in a Lost Land by James MacManus, a foreign correspondent arrives in Africa to report on a nationalist insurgency … an innocent newcomer, he struggles to stay neutral in what is a bitter way waged with terror on both sides. Meanwhile, he begins an affair with a young township teacher – one that is tested when he discovers she is recruiting her students to join the guerrillas and helping to smuggle them across the border. A love story set against terror and atrocities from an author who once was a foreign correspondent in France, Africa and Middle East. Whitefox Publishing

Alistair MacKay’s The Child. After suffering a mental breakdown and losing his job at a New York advertising agency, a young man returns to Cape Town with his husband. The plan? To adopt a child … someone to love as the world around them falls apart. But as the adoption gets underway, his marriage and sense of self begin to unravel, and his life becomes increasingly enmeshed with his domestic worker and her young daughter. Lies, violence, and trauma all endanger the new beginning he hoped for. Kwela Books

The Dream About Sinking by Aleksandar Bajić. Being young, female and white in South Africa … if life was a poker game, Nadine has all the aces. She’s a candidate attorney with a loving boyfriend and a brilliant career ahead. But an apparently chance encounter with a young woman who’s trying to escape from a police raid at a strip club where she works sets in motion a chain of events that show her life’s not what she expected, and that she doesn’t know herself as well as she thought she did.

All books available from Exclusive Books.

Indoor trees are a hot décor item, great for crea

Indoor trees are a hot décor item, great for creating atmosphere, while mopping up stale air and toxins. There’s probably more than 5 reasons why indoor trees work so well as an indoor décor feature, but here are five that come to mind:

- Indoors or out, trees are a living sculpture. When grown indoors they add a finishing touch to a room or act as a focal point (much as they would do in the garden).
- There’s nothing like living greenery to bring a room to life, especially in winter when everything outside is turning brown.
- The texture of their stems and the various shades of green foliage complement rather than clash with indoor colour schemes. The secret is to match the tree (and its container) to your décor style’.
- They provide height in airy, double volume spaces, fill awkward corners or frame a window.
- Because of the volume of their foliage, indoors trees are particularly effective in purifying stale air and removing toxins.

Tips for indoor trees:
- For even growth turn the container (1/4 turn) every week, to equally expose all sides to the light.
- Re-pot every two years or so into the next sized pot until it reaches the right height, then trim to keep it in proportion to the container.
- Don’t move trees too often as they acclimatise to their surroundings.
- Use room temperature water when watering.
- Whatever you choose, go for show. Let the trees dominate their space. Keep it simple and let there be plenty of air and light around them, so that they stand out.

The names say it all: ‘Pink Kisses,’ ‘ Early

The names say it all: ‘Pink Kisses,’ ‘ Early Love,’ ‘I love You’ and’ ‘Purple Wedding.’ These pretty and petite pot carnations in romantic shades of pink, blush and purple, come from centuries of cultivation.

The association of carnations with love, fascination and distinction goes back some 2000 years, when they were named ‘the flower of the gods’ by Greek philosopher Theophrastus.

Like roses, many myths and legends surround the carnation, reinforcing its association with romance. They are woven into wedding bouquets and celebratory wreaths and are worn in buttonholes.

Modern pot carnations are compact and bushy, producing masses of bicoloured double flowers above grey-green stems and leaves. They can be planted as a showy border, are ideal for gravel gardens, and are hardy plants for patio containers and hanging baskets. They are perfect gift plants and can be grown indoors.

Unlike the older, taller carnation varieties that need staking and pinching, pot carnations don’t have to be fussed over.

And they're easy to grow!
- Pot carnations needs four to five hours of full sun. Plant in well composted soil that drains well.
- Space plants 30cm apart and plant the crown of the plant level with the surface of the soil. No need to mulch; the stems like to be free of lingering moisture.
- Once established, plants are drought tolerant and should not be over-watered. Let the soil dry out moderately before watering. The roots tend to rot in soggy soil.
- Fertilise once a month and cut back after flowering for a repeat flush of flowers.
- Container grown plants do best with morning sun and afternoon shade. Use a good quality potting soil that drains well and feed with Margaret Roberts Organic
- Supercharger after planting. Plants in containers need more water than those in the garden. Boost growth and flowers with a liquid fertiliser once a month.
