This is a fun little book full of some rather interesting little DIY plant projects and an assortment of recommended houseplants, some of which are rather unusual and some of which are pretty standard. It highlights about a dozen plants and then provides about a dozen projects. Examples of the projects are making a box shelf to hang on the wall with four compartments for four little plants, hanging a test tube that's mounted on a slice of wood and using that for rooting cuttings, and wrapping the root ball of a houseplant well with layers of something (I forget what, something to protect it that's light) and then lots of colorful string and hanging them with no pots. The book is rather short but it's well illustrated with great color photos and does provide some novel houseplant fun.

I read a digital ARC of this book for review.

A great book for beginners wanting to add houseplants to their home. This will give you all the information you need for selection, care and placement. I loved the pictures and descriptions of all the individual plants, and the second part with the DIY projects is a bit of fun. The reference information is the best part for me, and it is a good book to keep on your shelf or to give as a housewarming gift.

Great book for beginners. The images are helpful for anyone starting out. The DIY part Was fun with Some really nice projects for hangers and pots.

At the beginning I really liked this book, the introduction of the houseplants was very useful and interesting. I also enjoyed the DIY part with really nice projects for hangers and pots in the second part of the book. The only thing that really surprised me was the fact that the book is rather short.

Being a city-dweller I'm fascinated by indoor plants but tend to not research their growth beyond the little plastic tab with care instructions. Houseplant Party taught me a few basics on the plants that I currently have ( turns out my poor money tree was too dry with its browning leaves), and has given me ideas for other houseplants I'd love to have. With great photos, basic information (I need to replant my ponytail palm-that's-not-a-palm), I'm excited to change the way I care for them to make them look more amazing and add some feng shui to my city apartment.
