Book description
The Houseplant Survival Manual provides general advice; in a plant-by-plant illustrated guide, it also provides detailed information on care, areas of risk, treatment and cures for examples drawn from all the common houseplant families. Topics covered include the general characteristics of the plant and the sort of conditions – light, temperature, watering, feeding, soil and so on – that should be provided in order for it to thrive. Special box features give advice on what to look for when purchasing, the various varieties available and the treatment of pests and diseases. Each plant has an extensive care chart, showing in highly visual reference form exactly what you should be doing to keep your plants in peak condition throughout the year.
