    • Thorough and Helpful for All Plant Lovers (Experienced or Not)
I personally have a black thumb when it comes to anything green. I have a few low-maintenance succulents and cactuses, a couple of orchids gifted to me, even a bamboo. All have slightly different needs, but books like this are extremely helpful in clarifying if, for example, I may have over or under watered something, the right potting mix, and the lighting needs. Otherwise, I’ve lucked out on some intuitive aspects since I practically pet my plants, inspecting them regularly. Still, even a couple of years later, I’m still learning. I have some succulents that are absolutely moody when they weather changes and it can be challenging to discern when to repot or discern rot from sunburn, etc. Anyway, this book has colorful visuals, easy to follow information (I like that they reference other plants with similar needs on the same page), and there are countless examples of plants for ideal living spaces (living room, bathroom, etc). ... show more

    • Really helpful book!
This book is so cute and also informative. It has a lot of really vibrant photos inside as well as alot of information on how to care for many different types of houseplants. It is really helpful and if you're looking for a good basic beginner handbook that's got most of the starter beginner information you might need to know about caring for alot of different plants. It obviously doesn't have every plant in here, but there's a really surprisingly large variety. I was impressed. ... show more

    • This book makes taking care of my plants easy.
Until recently, I have never really paid attention to the individual needs of my house plants. I brought them home and tried to water them regularly. Their survival was more or less luck and I did not know why some of my plants thrived and others not. Over the past year I have become more interested in taking better care of my plants. This book gives me all the information I need in a cleverly organized and easy to understand way. I love the photo-index of all featured plants at the beginning of the book. This makes looking up a specific plant I already have very easy, even if I do not know its name. It is very helpful that care instructions for plants with almost identical needs are grouped together. I also like that the book names the top 5 plants for desks, sunny spots, bathrooms, low light areas, as well as the living room. I will use this information to group my plants better in different spaces of my house and to bring new plants into my office. ... show more

    • Just what the plant doctor ordered
My wife loves having houseplants, and we've spent an ungodly amount of money over the years on the little potted beauties, only to see them all suffer the same fate as a result of their horticulturally challenged parents. This book is as advertised: a quick, visually informative guide to stop folks from killing their houseplants. From buying guides to direct instructions for how to save a plant suffering from a potentially fatal issue, this book will help home owners better understand their plant babies and respond to their specific needs. ... show more
