As a novice gardener I've perused a lot of books and usually they're either really wordy, use terms that a college professor might, or just don't quite have what I need. This book is a really nice overview of everything related to indoor gardening, with lots of photos to explain what they're talking about or doing. I especially love a photographic section on plant problems, diseases and bugs - a lot of the books out there 'explain' what to look for while this one actually shows an afflicted plant. I recommend this book for anyone who's looking to get further into the indoor plants (without actually looking for a degree...).

As a very novice gardener, I needed a book that covered the basic of houseplant care. Well, this is it. I especially like the fact that it is full of color photos.

The first third of this book is dedicated to plant care: light, water, temperature, air, humidiry, potting, propagation, etc.

The last two third is the Galery of Houseplants, which lists lots of plants, how to care for them. I was able to find all the plants I already had in my house, and even found ones that I had no idea what they were.

Worthy guidebook for both the novice and plant lover. Enjoy reviewing the potting/dividing how-to plus the plant type index every planting season.

I bought the book in hopes of learning how to properly maintain my houseplants. There was a wealth of information and simple easy to understand language!
