How Not to Kill Your Houseplant: Survival Tips for the Horticulturally Challenged

This book is perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I needed an easy to understand book on houseplants as I have a few but I’m very much a novice! A few of my plants started looking sad so I searched for a book to help me identify issues and to advise on the best ways to care for them, but I felt I needed an “idiots guide” if you like. Something not too fussy but says all the basics that I need to know to not kill my houseplants! This was perfect! Lots of pictures, concise information that gives just the right kind of info. Covers a massive range of houseplants. Just brilliant! I’ve seen other books that waffle on, whereas this just tells you what level of light they need, what to do if you’re over/under watering. The absolute bare bones but the most important aspects of plant care. An absolute bargain! I do wish it had more cactus species included but I’ll keep searching for a cactus book as good as this one. If it exists!

Brilliant book!

I have a number of house plants and whilst they are mostly healthy there are a couple that looked worse for wear. I got this booth the diagnose what could be wrong. And hey this book helped so much and helped to recover there health. Not all plants were listed but great clear read.

I'm very much a novice when it comes to tending for my houseplants - this book is invaluable to me, and I highly recommend it. It covers a wide range of houseplants and provides clear, sound advice on watering, soil, light, feeding, misting, etc. While not overly complex/heavy, it contains enough guidance to help you get your houseplants of all varieties thriving.

Very helful if you keep killing your house plants 🫣👍

I bought this for a Xmas pressie for a young friend who manages to kill her houseplants so a very apt gift with an appropriate title for someone who is definitely horticulturally challenged and also at a very reasonable price! On delivery I was impressed with the logical layout of the book that includes desk plants and plants of different sizes and those for various light conditions. It includes a 'care section' with watering tips and potting on tips for each plant. Easy to use and find what you want with descriptive pictures as well as easy to understand text. I was impressed and thought it better than expected at a very good price considering it was only published in 2017. I would recommend the book and may even treat myself to one.

Books as described and arrived in timely manner.

This book is what I hoped it would be. Very informative, lots of pictures, good for beginners.

This book was exactly what I was looking for. It lists a large variety of common house plants. It was exactly what I was looking for as the information is concise and to the point. I don't want to read about the author's life story or a bunch of excess stuff. What I did want was information on proper lighting, watering, etc. This is perfect. I can grab this book and have a quick look at what to do for each plant. It's also a nice small size. There's no information about how to propagate each plant but I don't mind that. It does list common signs of problems for each plant and how to respond to it. I also like the suggestions for best places to put various plants. If you're looking for something that will give you care information quickly and covers a large number of the most common houseplants, including cactus, succulents and air plants, this is the perfect book for you. If you're new to caring for house plants or, like me, you have a hard time remembering how to care for all your different plants, this is the perfect go-to guide to making sure your plants are getting the care they require (and what to do about it if they're not).
