Houseplants The Complete Guide to Choosing Growing and Caring for Indoor Plants Lisa Eldred Steinkopf 9781591866909 Books Reviews
- I really love this book! Just like there is no such thing as too many plants, there's no such thing as too many resources and this book delivers.
It's not just plant profiles (which I love!) - it's practical advice on how to care for your plant friends. It's a wonderful addition to my library and I recommend it to all plant lovers. - This is an OUTSTANDING book! I have never had a green thumb and am an absolute beginner so I after I bought three houseplants, I thought I better do some reading. I have several books now and out of them all, this has been far and away above them all. It gives you the basics... and then a little more so that you understand the why behind it. While I was using another book for the basics, I am now referring to this as my "bible" for keeping my houseplants. I really can't recommend this book enough. I am now excited to have houseplants and think I now have the tools to actually keep them alive!
- The book is OK, but I wish the pictures of plants were a bit bigger, and showed how it looks in a pot. It’s hard to see what the plant looks like when it’s just a close up of a leaf or a branch, which is the case with many pictures in the book. Also, some popular houseplants are not event covered. Ie, I just bought the UFO plant (pilea peperomioides), and had to search for care tips online.
- This is my go to plant book. Contains the most pertinent info on growth, care, and propagation for common species. I love that the plants are organized into sections by “level of difficulty.†This makes it easy to decide if I have the right living conditions for certain plants.
There’s great and must read info on pests and I find the step by step methods of various ways for propagation very intuitive and better than most books I’ve read. I do wish the photos for each species was larger and more than just a circular snapshot, but other than that, it’s a great go-to. - Good book! I feel like I know a fair amount about plants and I still learned a ton. Some of her techniques are different and interesting. It lists several plants and things to do about those plants which is great, also walks you through everything you could ever need to know. Great for new plant parents
- I love this book!! So much helpful information and the photographs are outstanding. I bought copies for my friends for Christmas. I want them to share the joys of this outstanding book.
- Great book for care on several different indoor houseplants requiring low to medium light. Also gives advise on how to handle pests that may occur on plants. As well as defining which plants are easy to grow to plants that can be difficult if environment requirements aren't met.
Very informative. - I am very happy with this book. It gives quick basic info on most houseplants that you can find at your local store. 1 plant is featured per page and gives a quick rundown on basic requirements of lighting, watering needs, soil preference, growth habits and any special features or important notes. It comes in handy if you want to pot something up quickly and just need to know what soil type and lighting requirements.
