Description

The Hidden Histories of Houseplants explores 20 of the world's most common houseplants. This book isn't just a dry exploration of historical cultivation; the narrative explores the plants' places in social history, science and culture, showcasing the most fascinating elements of each plant's story, be it the exploration as to why Monstera deliciosa have holes in their leaves, whether houseplants have the ability to count, or why Calathea leaves open during the day and close up at night. Accompanied by stunning illustrations, each text takes the reader on a journey through time, history and culture, told by the most universally binding objects in our homes from London to Beijing – houseplants.

    • Fantastic new book
Authors who are writing with clear passion about the subject. Finally someone is starting to bridge the gap between houseplants as we see them and their uses and extraordinary abilities from where they come from.

If a reader wishes to learn more about topics in this book, not a single source is provided. ... show more
