How Not to Kill Your Houseplant: Survival Tips for the Horticulturally Challenged Hardcover – August 15, 2017

This book is so cute and also informative. It has a lot of really vibrant photos inside as well as alot of information on how to care for many different types of houseplants. It is really helpful and if you're looking for a good basic beginner handbook that's got most of the starter beginner information you might need to know about caring for alot of different plants. It obviously doesn't have every plant in here, but there's a really surprisingly large variety. I was impressed.

I personally have a black thumb when it comes to anything green. I have a few low-maintenance succulents and cactuses, a couple of orchids gifted to me, even a bamboo. All have slightly different needs, but books like this are extremely helpful in clarifying if, for example, I may have over or under watered something, the right potting mix, and the lighting needs. Otherwise, I’ve lucked out on some intuitive aspects since I practically pet my plants, inspecting them regularly. Still, even a couple of years later, I’m still learning. I have some succulents that are absolutely moody when they weather changes and it can be challenging to discern when to repot or discern rot from sunburn, etc. Anyway, this book has colorful visuals, easy to follow information (I like that they reference other plants with similar needs on the same page), and there are countless examples of plants for ideal living spaces (living room, bathroom, etc).

I love this book. It gives you a little bit of everything from how to purchase a plant how to feed it and water it. How much sun it needs what to do if it gets bugs how to trim my back. It even includes the types of plans for a working fireman, lol lighting or even direct lighting. There’s pictures with every page so you have a idea of different plans, well worth the money, and I refer back to this book often especially after I purchase a new plant. Five star in my opinion.

I am a beginner when it comes to the plant life, but I like this book because it is easy to read, gives you enough to start with, and it is small in size. It is good for a quick reference to different plants.

The media could not be loaded. This book is amazing. It has 4 pages of different plants shown with pictures and will tell you which page to flip to!! Has so much useful information for a plant beginner like myself!!!! I would recommend this book to everyone. You can tell the author put an extreme amount of thought into it. 10/10!!!!

This book has a fun colorful format and perfect for someone like me who hates plodding through boring text w/o pictures or books that give too much extremely complicated information that forces the reader throw the book into a pile of dirty laundry never to be opened again. While I am not a beginner plant person, my sister in law is and I bought the book for her. She called me after receiving it and said it is her new bedside book at night and finds the book very informative, but entertaining and witty. I bought a copy for myself as well so we chat on the phone and compare notes. Love.this.book.

My wife loves having houseplants, and we've spent an ungodly amount of money over the years on the little potted beauties, only to see them all suffer the same fate as a result of their horticulturally challenged parents. This book is as advertised: a quick, visually informative guide to stop folks from killing their houseplants. From buying guides to direct instructions for how to save a plant suffering from a potentially fatal issue, this book will help home owners better understand their plant babies and respond to their specific needs.

I bought this book for my wife as a joke (notorious plant murderer) but it's actually quite good and easy to follow. Grew up working on farms so I know a little about agriculture. This book is well worth the time to read.

Easy to read, good information, bite-size information. Covers the care of lots of different houseplants.

This is a very handy book if like me your learning to take care of plants. Has so much information help on lots of different plants. Down to bugs viruses they get. Very pleased to have found it here after buying this book a while back for a member of family . Truly an amazing little book.
