This guide to growing houseplants is a great resource for anyone who might need a little extra guidance. This book covers lighting, soil, watering needs and so much more for a wide variety of house plants. I would love to have the physical copy of this book! I’m wanting to add more houseplants right now!
Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for this advanced copy.

I, like I imagine a large number of people, love the idea of having a house full of plants. Not only do they brighten the place up, clean the air but really add a decorative touch. The issue is where to begin and then there is the even bigger problem of keeping the plants alive. This book is a really helpful read and guide on all things houseplants. From how and when to water, what to do if your away on holiday, to propagation and what plants to get it is all here. Not only is this an immensely helpful read but is also full of beautiful plant photography and drawings which would make it a book worth having even if you have no interest in gardening yourself.
Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A very good reference book for plant lovers who don't seem to have a green thumb. Find your favorite plant before you start and you are guaranteed good results from the people who know best. Easy to follow and love the examples.

This is a good resource for beginning "house gardeners," and includes informative sections on how to choose plants, pot them and care for them, and even ideas on how to group them in interesting ways. I liked the individual plant information, including photographs and drawings. The only thing missing was information on how to identify and remedy common houseplant issues.

A very good on the care and maintenance of houseplants. It's well written, full of information and advice.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

This book has a lot of great information about not only how to grow house plants but what each type of house plant needs. It breaks everything down plant by plant and has pictures. I love it, so helpful!!

What a lovely comprehensive guide to house plants., from the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew.

This book is packed with information and advice about growing a myriad of different plants in your home, giving you loads of guidance about where to grow each plant, and how to care for them correctly.

I particularly like the way the sections are broken up with projects about how to display some of the plants in attractive and distinctive ways. I will certainly be trying some of these.

This book was not available for request on NetGalley, so I added it to my wishlist and magically, it was granted! I received a digital edition of this book in exchange for an honest read and review. I love reading about plants and gardening; a few of my other books I have reviewed here and for NetGalley have been based on similar topics. I love plants; my house is covered in plants. I have so many bottles sitting everywhere–even in my bathroom– that have plant cuttings in them. Not to brag, but I do have a green thumb and part of that means I enjoy reading about ways to grow things and help what I already have, thrive.

Firstly, this book is gorgeous! Every photo included is beautiful and it makes me just want more and more plants. I love books that include a healthy dose of photographs that both illustrate the points given in the text, but also just make things look good. I love just flipping through these sorts of books to get ideas about what types of plants I like and would like to procure, but also different ways to display and group plants.

Second, this book includes an easy-to-follow section about propagation and goes through several different ways to make new plant babies from older ones! I have tried several times in the past to get some straight answers about how to grow new plants from the internet and usually always end up getting confused or just losing interest and energy because there are so many different ideas and ways of doing things. I like that this book offers a fairly concise section on the subject and doesn’t get weighed down by terminology. It even gives lists of plants that do well for each type of propagation; something that I have needed for a while!

And third, this book also goes over specific plant types. Usually, they are more well-known and easy to find plants versus exotic ones that require money and time. I really appreciate this because nothing is more discouraging than finding a lovely plant and then trying to find it only to learn that it isn’t available in your area. Sort of on the same lines, this book also categorizes plants into 6 different types. I have never thought of this before and it makes so much sense to me now.

Overall, I loved reading this book and stopping at specific plants that I have or grow now. I actually needed to consult this book for a couple of problems I was having with a few of my plants. This book also has a little tip or trivia fact for each plant and I loved that. I am easily giving this one four stars, mainly because of the ending and how abrupt it felt. I would have liked a little conclusion or just a page to tie everything up at the end. Otherwise, I loved it!

What a wonderful book for the house plant lovers. Now, after reading this book, I know why some of my plants look sick or died...Great pictures and illustrations. I enjoyed reading and learning in same time

This is a very helpful and beautiful House plant identification book from Kew Royal Botanic Gardens.

It has lovely, simply written plant descriptions, where to grow them and how to grow them with some very useful growing tips. Such as watering advice and light requirements.

It also has a mix of photographs and lovely illustrations of each plant.

It’s so pleasant and easy to understand, perfect for any houseplant owner. I know I’ll be referring to this again and again.

I would like to thank the Author/the Publishers/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review

Excellent book on the purchase, care, and keeping of the wonderful world of houseplants. The complications that can ensue by buying the wrong plant, wrong soil, etc. is broken down into easily digested segments. Whether new or experienced with plants, there’s something to be gleaned from the information that will have you returning to it as a guide often.
