The Complete Guide to Houseplants

The Complete Guide to Houseplants: The Easy Way to Choose and Grow Happy, Health Houseplants (2006), edited by Valerie Bradley is part of the Reader’s Digest guide series. This book is illustrated with many full color pictures so one not familiar with the plants written about can get a ready and clear view of what to look for.

I recently decided to have more plants in the house, but I wanted to get plants that were hardy, because I do not have the best track record with houseplants. This great (and very affordable) book has instructions for growing and propagating a wide variety of plants with clear pictorial guides at the head of each entry for light, size and room temp.

This guide is a great single resource for those of us with less than stellar experience growing plants indoors.
