This book has a good overview of houseplants. The author doesn't give a lot of details on any one subject. I will admit that the carnivorous plant section caught my attention... not sure if I'm ready for such a plant though :)

I feel like I need to own this as an emerging indoor plant lover/cultivator.

Beautiful design and high quality images. The pages are nice and thick. I love the plant index and care guides. I especially appreciated the fertilizer section. A helpful beginner to midlevel plant care book; also features interesting plant design ideas. The book does use a term for dieffenbachia that is now obsolescent; it would be cool to see this changed if there are future editions.

Gorgeous book with beautiful and fun projects to try. The projects have very clear instructions. The discussion in the front of the book for design aspects was fairly basic, but everything is there to help you keep elements of design front-of-mind when planning out what you're doing with plants. The care discussion at the end of the book was clear and geared towards beginners. The section that dealt with common house plants and their requirements was simple and accessible.
I'll be bringing this book with me next time I go plant shopping to make sure I choose the right plants for my home.
