Review: Easy to use, great for novices - This book is perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I needed an easy to understand book on houseplants as I have a few but I’m very much a novice! A few of my plants started looking sad so I searched for a book to help me identify issues and to advise on the best ways to care for them, but I felt I needed an “idiots guide” if you like. Something not too fussy but says all the basics that I need to know to not kill my houseplants! This was perfect! Lots of pictures, concise information that gives just the right kind of info. Covers a massive range of houseplants. Just brilliant! I’ve seen other books that waffle on, whereas this just tells you what level of light they need, what to do if you’re over/under watering. The absolute bare bones but the most important aspects of plant care. An absolute bargain! I do wish it had more cactus species included but I’ll keep searching for a cactus book as good as this one. If it exists!
