Understanding the basics of plant care is the first step to having healthy plants. Author Pat Regel has culled her 25 years of plant care to bring you the essential information, plus a few of her own clever, practical techniques. She reveals the mysteries of light intensity, watering, fertilizing, humidity, and repotting. Learn how humidity can boost your plants' health. Get your most pressing houseplant questions answered in quick tips. Find out where to get the best houseplants and the best information on their specific needs. Discover how to combat plant pest effectively and safely. Color photographs assist plant identification, and step-by-step illustrations take the guesswork out of plant care techniques.
