37 Houseplants Even You Can't Kill
Some would-be gardeners simply have the opposite of a green thumb: everything they touch seems to wilt. But perhaps the problem lies not with the person but with the plant! These 37 varieties of flowers, foliage, and cacti will hold their own in the face of minimal TLC--which is absolutely perfect for anyone who wants lush greenery but hasn't the time to spare. Best of all, there's no need to sacrifice beauty: the selection includes the delicate Baby's Tears, a Chinese Evergreen, a Lacy-Tree Philodendron, African Violets, a Peace Lily, and Christmas Cactus. In addition to an easy-to-follow basics section, the entries include photos, information on caring for each plant, and tips for growing them like a pro.

Simple and to-the-point
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The reason I like this book is because it gives me just what I want to know, no more, no less. So many books on houseplants go overboard with information and it just gets overwhelming to read through all that stuff. If I could change one thing, I would give two pictures of each plant instead of one: one close up and one further away, to give a better idea of what the plant really looks like if you're not familiar with it. Bottom line, though, if you are just getting into houseplants, this will give you just what you need without overwhelming you. Good plant choices, concise info., helpful tips.
Keeping them alive!

I'm new to gardening indoors and outdoors, but I am truly trying to learn without getting too scientific. I see it as a hobby, not a vocation simply because its nice to have plants you like scattered around your house and home. This book helped me a lot. If you're a novice or know one, it makes a great gift.
