Description

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER Discover the joy of houseplant care with this welcoming and practical guide filled with no-nonsense tips and encouraging advice from plant expert and content creator Tanner Mitchell a.k.a. Tanner The Planter. Caring for plants can be a meditative practice, even a form of self- care. Tanner Mitchell knows this firsthand. As the owner of a beloved plant store he opened with his wife in 2020, Tanner has seen how house plants bring so much comfort and joy to people, regardless of what else is going on in their lives or in the larger world. With his kids’ encouragement, Tanner began posting plant care tips on TikTok and soon, he found his calling. Now, Tanner combines his expert knowledge and experience into an easy-to-follow and inspiring resource for houseplant care. For the Love of Houseplants covers everything from selecting plants suited to your space’s natural conditions to step-by-step guides for watering, repotting, fertilizing, and more. Tanner offers troubleshooting advice for common plant problems, like yellow leaves, brown tips, pests, overwatering, and mushy stems. The book also includes in- depth profiles of thirty of the most popular houseplants—aglaonema, anthurium, fiddle-leaf fig, orchid, peace lily, philodendron, snake plant, succulents, and many more. Most importantly, Tanner reminds us to appreciate the small joys in life and embrace the challenges and setbacks of plant care as part of the journey. Whether you are a seasoned plant parent or just starting out, For the Love of Houseplants is a must-have for anyone looking to bring a bit of the natural world into their home. Read more

  • Beautiful yet Simple guide to Houseplant Success 🪴
Format: Hardcover
I have been a fan of Tanner & Erika and followed their store, live sales and shop stories for almost two years now. I have been a life long plant lover, even spending 6 years of high school and college working in a large family run greenhouse / nursery. Never have I felt as comfortable and successful with plants as I have over the past year or two. Receiving this book and having such a beautiful guide & instructions for success has been amazing. The gorgeous colorful photos and overall aesthetic is stunning while also soothing to the soul. I personally love Tanner’s take on those plants we all lose and up in the plant graveyard. Becoming part of the circle of life, fertilizer for the next cycle of plants, etc. Sometimes we learn more from our failures than our successes! I have lost my fair share of plants through the years; but my current collection is vast, gorgeous, and UN-complicated. Thanks to Tanner’s easy to understand care instructions - specific yet easy to follow light & water guides. Nothing fancy! He has made an intimidating hobby so much easier and joyful. I can’t wait to gift this book to leaf loving friends as well! 🫶🏻🌵🪴😍 ... show more

  • A Work of Art
Format: Hardcover
I have been waiting what feels like an eternity for this book to be released, and now that it’s finally in my hands it was worth the wait! It’s BEAUTIFUL! 🤩 Ever since that first cutting, gifted to me by my best friend, I’ve been a houseplant addict. I quickly scoured over social media trying to find houseplant enthusiasts for help and guidance. I found Tanner the Planter. He and Erika, his lovely wife, have changed my life. I now have over 150+ plants, 90% of them being purchased from Tanner. When I heard he was writing a book i immediately preordered it and FINALLY it’s here! It’s so well written, entertaining, and informative. Perfect for new plant owners as well as seasoned plant owners such as myself. It’s colorful! The pictures and illustrations are amazing and crystal clear. I cannot wait to share this masterpiece with my family and friends. If you’re on the fence about buying it, don’t be, add to cart! ... show more
