This is a beautifully-illustrated book on house plants. Besides the fact that all photos and most illustrations are in color; this book shows the reader how to cultivate, propagate (start new plants) and decorate with indoor plants.
This is just the quality product one would expect from Reader's Digest. The information is clear; they have organized things so that common directions (temperature, sunlight needs, moisture needs, etc.) are shown via (easily understood) symbols.
This volume groups plants by type (cacti & succulents, bulbs, water gardens, etc.). There is also an assortment of plants suggested if you want to create an all white ? or any other color ? flowering plant display for your home.
Then, they offer suggestions for containers, including which containers are most attractive with which plantings.
The book shows everything from:
How to water your plants correctly (some plants have unusual requirements for successful watering);
How and when to repot your leggy plants;
Illustrations and directions on the many ways to propagate new plants;
How to solve pests and plant growing problems;
How to solve problems of ill-health in plants;
How to save a parched plant;
How to use artificial lighting most effectively with plants;
How to self-water plants while you are on vacation; and
An excellent glossary.
This book is an excellent resource ? for the new to the intermediate indoor gardener.
