Many people have become fascinated with houseplants over the past year, and Sarah Durber, owner of a British plant shop, has easy pointers for would-be plant owners, or those who need troubleshooting for the plants they already have. Writing for the complete novice who wants attractive, low-maintenance house plants, Durber starts with practical advice about specific plants for beginners, then gives more detailed instructions, with special focus on succulents and cacti. She also has tips for displaying plants attractively, including instructions for building plant displays, like open and closed terrariums and moss balls. The book concludes with information about plants and well-being, including plants that help clean the air. Her low-stress approach makes even the more advanced propagation section accessible for beginners.
VERDICT A useful resource for anyone who wants a photo-ready plant display, particularly if they need help with getting started or plant maintenance.
