  • Want to learn.
This little book is filled with good information. And it's great for identifying plants.

  • Best book that I have read
I loved this book, it provided me that knowledge to better learn about my houseplants

  • Maybe Not Everyday Houseplant's
I recently started working in a garden center as the indoor plant lead. I bought this book, hoping to brush up on basics to add to my life long personal experience and knowledge. I was disappointed the basics don't seem to be for today's modern houseplant parent. It's OK if you want to purchase individual components to make your own soil mixes and use professional methods for care but it's not so good for the basic newbie to houseplants which I meet with daily. ... show more

  • A must have
Got this for my daughter for Christmas because she loves plant like I do. After I received the book I looked through it and decided I need to order one for myself too. It is full of very useful information for a wide variety of plants.

  • A good reference for your home library
Good photos and basic information for plant care

  • Terribly Disappointing
Seeing a 5 star review I thought this book would have more detailed information on the plants it presented, such as how difficult some plants are to grow. I guess I just really expected more from a book that earned 5 stars from almost 2000 readers. I am well versed in keeping and growing house plants however it's been some time since I've had them in my house and I wanted a book to reaccquaint myself, This just wasn't the book for me. ... show more

  • Very informative.
I have a sunny Florida room that's perfect and I really enjoyed reading about the plants I have and choosing which ones will be my next purchases. A great book!
