Green Dumb Guide to Houseplants
45 Unfussy Plants That Are Easy to Grow and Hard to Kill
By Holly Theisen-Jones
This book is a comprehensive, entertaining introduction to indoor plants. The author starts with general instructions on the essentials such as water, soil, pests, and fertilizer. The rest is divided into 4 levels of difficulty. Each level (?Practically Plastic,” ?Chill,” ?Fussy,” and ?Master Gardener”) presents different plants and ways to ensure you don’t kill them. There are around forty plants, with the last level containing just one! The information is clear and concise, with a touch of humour to keep you from taking yourself too seriously.
