    Lot of info in small book.

    Book was published in 1996. Has most plants I’m interested in. Is very detailed and gives information on garden plants as well as houseplants. Pictures are good.

  • This is a must have Plant book! Whether you're a beginner plant caregiver or pro.

    Love this book! I discovered it when I first started working at the flower/plant shop. I found it so helpful when a customer would have questions on care for a particular plant (I didn't know anything about plants). I found myself going to the book several times a day. I slowly started collecting my own plants and purchased a copy for myself. I recently just purchased another copy for a friend who recently received her very first plant. It covers care for a wide variety of plants and has tips on repotting, pests, disease, etc.

  • Timeless Houseplant “Bible”

    I already have a copy of this book, but it has basically everything you need to know about keeping your houseplants alive and thriving, so I purchased another copy for a family member. I highly, highly suggest this book!

  • The House Plant Expert

    I enjoy having a hard copy of information. Using the internet constantly, doesn't appeal to the older generation. Excellent book
