Spotlight Reviews
Reviewer: A reader from Massachusetts, U.S.A.
This book has already saved two of my houseplants, and I've only had it for two weeks! It's full of easy to read, easy to understand information for someone like me - I'm not and have no desire to become a horticulturist, I just want to have a resource at my fingertips which will give me the information I need to properly care for my house plants. This book is it! Concise, clear, easy to find, easy to understand information on all the common house plant varieties, what they need to grow and flourish, what the common ailments are and what to do to make your plant well again. Love this book!

Reviewer: A reader
This is the most helpful book on house plants that I have ever read. It has sections about the different classes of house plants (eg, flowering, succulents, etc.), followed by a section that is like an encyclopedia of several hundred plants. Each plant is presented with its Latin and common names, a color picture, a brief description, a set of growing requirements (eg, light, watering), and how to deal with special problems that species faces. Finally, there are sections about growing, propagation, and first-aid. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys collecting or growing house plants.

Reviewer: A reader from Dallas, Texas USA
This book has been great trying to determine what type of plants I have. I usually just buy what I visually like paying no attention to the type of plant it is. Then, when it starts to die, I start to wonder. :) This book has a great flowchart that walks you through determining the type of plants you have. Then, gives you all the skinny on taking care of it! It's great!!
