More of a pretty watercolor guide with info blocks that are right out of google 101, not informative and not useful if you really want to take care of plants but very lovely art - the book would be better served without words.

Pretty illustrations of different plants. They offer a section on succulents, cacti, flowering plants and foliage plants. Descriptions are short with some care tips so it makes for a quick read as the illustrations take up most of the book. I'd say it makes for a nice decorative or coffee table book. But if you're looking for a book on how to take care of plants and more in-depth information, I'd suggest getting another book. Or if you know you want a certain kind of plant (I prefer flowering and foliage plants), you may prefer getting a book that is only focused on those plants since half or part of the book may not be of interest to you.

This indoor plant guide is a piece of art! I was very kindly provided an e-copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The book contains beautiful watercolour illustrations of each plant accompanied by a brief description of the plant with a few care tips of note. It is divided into sections containing succulents, flowering plants and foliage plants. Although it is not an extensive care guide for looking after specific plants, it provides a good starting point for people looking to get into the hobby of indoor gardening and it doubles as a good coffee table book to flip through.

The plants included seemed considerably rarer than other books, and it's not as easy to reference care instructions. Still, it had the largest variety of plants and beautiful illustrations.
