Description

Transform your home into a verdant retreat with this information-packed guide to houseplant care, with profiles for over 125 different plants. Well-chosen, well-cared-for houseplants bring life to a room, both literally and figuratively. They add color, texture, motion, uniqueness, beauty—and they even improve air quality. They also fulfill our need to nurture and care for other living things. In Houseplants, expert grower Lisa Eldred Steinkopf gives you the advice and information you need to confidently bring a plant (or two, or more!) home and find joy in keeping it lush and healthy. Achieve success with your houseplants by: Making smart selections: Choose plants that are suited for your space and conditions. Savvy siting: Where the plant is placed is as important as what it is. Taking care: Proper maintenance goes far beyond watering; learn how to fertilize, groom, troubleshoot, propagate, and more. Becoming an educated owner: The book includes 125+ profiles of the most popular, cutting-edge plant species. Organized by relative ease of care, the plant profiles offer the common and botanical names, light preference, watering guidelines, whether and under what conditions it flowers, its size and growth potential, propagation tips, and available cultivars. Featuring stunning photography and a modern design, Houseplants is a must-have resource for every houseplant parent. Read more

  • Info on house plants and beyond
Great book,
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023 by DJJ

  • Best I've seen.
I love this book. It is very comprehensive with a section on all of the usual how to's and information about all kinds of house plants. The back half of the book is pictures and profiles of 194 house plants. It is divided into 3 sections with easy, moderately, or challenging to grow. Most plants have complete page of full color photo and description and care. A few are half page shared with another plant. The only complaint I have is one of my pet peeves with books anyway, photos without heading, name or titles. About half dozen times, in the front section of care and how to, the are photos of plants that aren't named and they are not in the individual plant pages. There is one plant I really like and I have searched everywhere (and I am a good internet searcher) and I can't find this particular plant. Authors, don't put in illustrations or pictures without identifying the subject! ... show more

  • Generic book
Based on the large number of highly positive reviews I had high expectations. Apparently too high. Big pictures, very little information - a quick internet search is frankly a lot more helpful. And I don't consider it nearly pretty enough for a coffee table book. Off to the donation box, I wasted my money. ... show more

  • Best plant book in my library
I bought this book along with a few others, and I wish now I had bought this one first as I would not have purchased the others. It's very thorough, well organized and has amazing photographs that not only help me to identify my plants, their issues and other varieties I may like, but the staging of the photos are so inspiring for home decor. It's hard cover, but light, and packed full of information. My only gripe is the catalog of plants at the beginning of each section has very tiny thumbnail photos, but all one has to do is keep flipping for the larger photos. This book is a good resource for beginners or even very green thumbs. I found the propagation section especially helpful. If you have a love of plants, add this book to your library. ... show more

  • Best you can get but not everything
Overall best book you can get but it’s in depths on individual plants is a little lacking has most of the more common plants but not much on the less common house plants
