37
Houseplants Even You Can't Kill
by Mary Kate Hogan
Paperback: 128 pages ISBN: 1402740891
Publisher: Sterling (October 28, 2006) |
| Some would-be gardeners simply have
the opposite of a green thumb: everything they touch seems to wilt. But perhaps the
problem lies not with the person but with the plant! These 37 varieties of flowers,
foliage, and cacti will hold their own in the face of minimal TLC—which is absolutely
perfect for anyone who wants lush greenery but hasn’t the time to spare. In addition
to an easy-to-follow basics section, the entries include photos, information on caring for
each plant, and tips for growing them like a pro. |

Houseplants
A to Z: Buying, Growing, Arranging
by Cecelia Heffernan
Hardcover: 176 pages ISBN: 081095544X
Publisher: Harry N. Abrams, Inc. (July 1, 2006) |
| Houseplants A to Z provides sound,
practical advice for purchasing, caring for, and decorating with 36 types of houseplants
(and many more species), from African violets to zebra plants. Lavishly illustrated, this
new book offers detailed information on purchasing, feeding, and propagating, as well as
interesting houseplant lore. What really distinguishes this book, however, is the focus on
decorating. Photographs illustrate ideas for arrangements, while artistically inclined
readers will take inspiration from the author's suggestions for plants that combine well
to create spectacular interior displays. |
