Visually appealing plant encyclopedia for plant lovers
I became obsessed with houseplants later in life as an adult. This book is one of many that I bought to learn about my new hobby. The pictures are high quality and the text is descriptive. Sure, I could just use Google and search plants online but there’s something nostalgic about having an encyclopedia at your fingertips. A detailed glossary has helped me learn the lingo. A visual index that can be used to identify plants you own, or decide which ones you want to buy next! And an easy to use index to find exactly what you’re looking for. Built in bookmarks. This book is the perfect addition to any plant lovers bookshelf!

Do you have a plant assassin in your house? Get them this book.
My wife is a houseplant assassin. You think she's there to take care of them, nurture them, provide them needed sustenance in exchange for their lush greenery. She seems like she really cares. She checks the soil regularly, waters the plants judiciously, and prunes them to make room for new growth. She cares. Really. And them BAM, plant drops dead without warning. My wife feigns innocence, but we all know what happened here. Death by too much care. Anywho, I got her this book and fewer plants are dropping dead. COINCIDENCE? I think not. Beautiful book. Very informative.
