Customer Reviews

This is the most helpful book on house plants that I have
ever read. It has sections about the different classes of
house plants (eg, flowering, succulents, etc.), followed by
a section that is like an encyclopedia of several hundred
plants. Each plant is presented with its Latin and common
names, a color picture, a brief description, a set of
growing requirements (eg, light, watering), and how to deal
with special problems that species faces. Finally, there
are sections about growing, propagation, and first-aid. I
would recommend this to anyone who enjoys collecting or
growing house plants.

I was very pleased with the amount of information this book provided. I have never had luck with house plants before. The information provided here helped me to make intelligent selections for the climate and light I could provide. The book provides a brief, but information packed 1/3 - 1 page on each plant including 'secrets of success' (temperture, light, water, air humidity, repotting and propagaion) and a list of remedies for special problems. I was able to take the book with me to the nursery to make sure I was making wise choices. I would recommend this book to anyone with questions of care on house plants.
