What Houseplant Where - Hardcover

Anyone who's ever mourned a failed potted plant will welcome the encouragement and practical advice this simple, colorful guide offers. The authors use several criteria--foliage and floral effects, trailing or climbing habits, and suitability for particular locations, such as bathrooms--to identify the best plant candidates for each part of the home. Concise plant listings are grouped in such sections as "Houseplants for Large Rooms," "Herbs for the Kitchen," and "Houseplants with Bold-Colored Flowers," and each listing includes plant size, care instructions, and is accompanied by a detailed photograph of leaves, flowers, and fruit (where appropriate). A section at the front gives tips on plant placement, general maintenance, and propagation; for convenience, the index lists both common and Latin names. With detailed listings for more than 400 plants and suggestions for many more, it's a great resource for every houseplant lover.

Features more than 400 houseplants for all indoor environments, from large, sunny living rooms to smaller spaces with limited natural light Includes practical suggestions for problem situations and expert advice on all aspects of caring for your plants throughout the year. END
