Fabulous book for houseplants!, Aug 10 2007
By Elaine Nelson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Indoor Plant Bible: The Essential Guide to Choosing and Caring for Indoor, Greenhouse, and Patio Plants (Spiral-bound)
This has been a incredible reference for all my houseplants, including a few that I've owned for years without knowing what they were! The wire binding is a good touch, and the cross-referencing is well done. Quality pictures, clear directions for plant care. All around my favorite houseplant book.

This review is from: The Indoor Plant Bible: The Essential Guide to Choosing and Caring for Indoor, Greenhouse, and Patio Plants (Spiral-bound)
I was looking for a book on houseplants that provided all the basic information: lighting needs, water needs, feeding needs, but ALSO, how to propagate each plant!! Great for an amateur houseplant hobbyist. Nice color photos.
