Customer Reviews

Very cute and a great beginner's book

This was my first houseplant book as a novice, and it was exactly what I needed! Has pretty accurate information without bombarding you with too much. I would have enjoyed it more if it included fertilization details for each plant, but I still look to it when I need to double-check something on a common houseplant.
