Gilbert Richard. 200 House Plants Anyone Can Grow

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 1988. — 144 p. — ISBN 9780863182761.200 House Plants Anyone Can Grow is a book for anyone who likes to have plants in the home but isn’t necessarily gifted with “green fingers”. Only plants that require the simplest of care are included, but each one will look attractive somewhere in the home. For this reason, many have been photographed in a domestic setting to inspire the reader to display plants in a creative way.
In addition to the fully illustrated plant guide, there is a section on the decorating know-how behind plant display, where advice is given on selecting plants, choosing containers and training and supporting plants. There is also a section on plant care that offers practical advice and step-by-step instructions on watering, potting and propagating, as well as a quick-diagnosis “trouble-shooting” guide to solve any problems that arise.
Packed with useful information and exciting display ideas, 200 House Plants Anyone Can Grow is the essential guide to growing today’s house plants successfully.
