This time of year I am obsessed with houseplants and just plants in general. Houseplants for All: A Guide to Becoming a Perfect Plant Parent gives great information on how to best maintain your in-house lovelies to their fullest potential.

The photography in this book is so beautiful and gives a lot of ideas for the spacial placement of suggested plants. I have had some question as to light and humidity regarding some plants and there are a lot of ideas given here to try to utilize you space to your plant needs.

Not only do you get talked through the light requirements and the best plants for them but how to garner more humidity and what to look for as well as how to capitalize on shifting light sources.

I honestly could not recommend this book more for those looking to capitalize their space with some beautiful live space-enhancers known as indoor plants!

There are lots of really great tips in this book.

The author is adamant there are ‘No black thumbs’, but I came away with the impression that to get it right will require a dedicated focus and lots of energy. It is easy to understand and very logical and detailed explanations, making it easy to understand the impact of light conditions, fertiliser, plant type etc. I'm sure it will help many people on their journey to thriving house plants.

It certainly helped me understand why my focus is rather my 2000 sqm of garden (based in the Southern Hemisphere.) In this environment, many of the plants described as ideal house plants thrive in my garden!

With thanks to #NetGalley, Houghton Mifflen Harcourts and the aorta's uthor for my free advanced reader copy to review in exchange for an honest opinion.

I love this book on houseplants! All of the plant profiles were very informative. Definitely will use as reference and purchase when it is released.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This book is a fantastic, informative, beautiful read for anyone interested in indoor gardening. It's chock-full of information on all the most popular types of houseplants, and is organized in such a readable format. I especially enjoyed the section discussing different types of indoor light and how the light present in your home can affect your plants.

I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy of this book to keep on my coffee table. A smart and beautiful book for any plant lover!

This guide is easy to use, well-organized and thorough. If you are new to plant ownership, or experienced, you will find the guide helpful, Well illustrated.

This book if full of beautiful pictures and even though I do have a green thumb I still learned quite a bit about indoor plants and some of the problems I battled there were answered! I did not regret reading this book. It was chalked full of easy to use information!

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

I requested this book because as I get older, I am finding myself interested in things I never was before...I couldn't have cared less about plants or how they look but lately, since these posts have gotten so popular on Instagram, I have started noticing that I actually LIKE plants...and the more I read about them, the more I see how good for you they can be. While I did not give this book four stars or above(just because I don't really give many nonfiction books four stars), I really did enjoy it much more than I thought I was going to. The pictures were amazing and I even had to screenshot some of them so I can remember what I want my future plants and pots to look like. There was SO much information included in the book that I can't really see anything that wasn't covered. I can't wait to start looking for plants and pots that speak to me. :)

I loved this book. I read it from cover to cover the day that I received my ARC from NetGalley.
I am one of those people that kill ALL indoor plants, maybe because I just buy them for their pretty looks and not consider at all where I am putting them or what they need. Some skills already learned from this book have saved a couple looking a bit dire already. And I am now full of confidence in going to the garden centre and picking he right plants for the right corners of my house, and I cant wait. My plants and I say thank you.
I will be buying a hard copy of this book as soon as it is published!

So this is basically plant porn for anyone who loves indoor plants or wants to love them!

Beautiful images and educational! I have lots of houseplants and have managed to do well with them but I'd say I definitely learned some awesome care tips from this book!

I'll probably purchase the physical book it would look great on the coffee table and I can fully enjoy the images!

A great addition to any plant loving home!

As an avid houseplant advocate, I found this book super helpful in choosing new plants to bring into my home, and concrete ways to keep them healthy and beautiful. This book can help both the novice and expert keep and understand their cherished houseplants.

This book has some great information on selection and placement of houseplants for optimal success with both lighting and aesthetics. I found it to be a very useful guide for picking plants that fit your space and lifestyle. This is a great tool for those new to caring for and selecting houseplants suitable for your environment time and space.


I received this book from NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for an honest review.

Outstanding information for all plant lovers whether new plant owner or a seasoned owner. Easy to understand information takes some of the mystery out of successful growing. The information on light requirements for best growth was great as was the information on pests and problems. Highly recommend for all plant lovers.
Thank you NetGalley for an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for my volunteer review.

This is a full color, informative book on basics of houseplants. It features lots of great illustrations and plant profiles, and goes into things like light levels, humidity, pests, etc. It will work well for someone new to houseplants or someone who just wants to find good ones to go buy.

I've read a handful of good houseplant books in the past couple of years and this one doesn't offer as much as some others. I also wish there was more diversity in the plants. For instance, I grow a lot of unconventional houseplants -- geraniums that live inside and bloom for months after I bring them in when frost is coming outside, herbs on sunny windowsills, plants that we grow for fun from avocado pits and produce seeds and scraps, etc. The ones in this book are all the standard buy-it-from-the-expensive-plant-store types. It does not go into other areas that I really like, like the list of which ones are best for cleaning indoor air, how to easily propagate them, etc. It's nice and will meet basic needs quite well though.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

As a self proclaimed plant mom, this book is awesome! There are tips on how to measure light level in areas in your home as well as the best plants for those areas. Plant profiles are available that provide details on care, such as light, soil, water, and styling tips. There is also an extensive section on care that expands on how to properly care and fertilize your plants. The final sections discuss plant problems, like pests, and a section on plants and pets. This is a great book for any plant lover!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book before its publication! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I do own another book by another author on this topic, and I also enjoy that one. I just love houseplants and in that case, having books about it, just makes me happy, just as my plants do! I'm only a beginner, and I feel like this book will definitely help you out if you're not sure how to take care of your plants, and where to place them in your house for the best light, humidity and such. I think I would definitely buy this book if I saw it in store, just to own it, as the pictures are inspiring and very beautiful too!

I've definitely learned something, and why I didn't give this one 5 stars is just because I have seen multiple of these books around, and this isn't really a new topic to write about. But it's good, and the layout is really pretty! Recommended for sure!

Not as broad on the topic of houseplants as I'd hoped. A great book for beginners, but not so much for experienced plant parents.

As someone who loves indoor plants, I get a lot of questions from family and friends about what’s wrong with their plants. This is a great resource for people who know a lot and people who are new to having plants. There’s multiple chapters and topics they talk about. For me, I have issues with bugs and she gave FABULOUS tips on identifying and how to tackle them. I absolutely loved this book and recommend to anyone who has or wants indoor plants.

Good general information for people who want to start growing houseplants. I liked how the sections were organized by light requirements

As a relative beginner to the plant world this book was a wonderful look into all things houseplants from potting, to watering, to light, and everything else you would ever need. The pictures and layout of the book were absolutely beautiful and I really liked how the book was laid out as it seemed to take you on a journey through taking care of your plants.

There are interactive quizzes to help you figure out the light levels and humidity of different rooms of your home and thus what plants would be best suited to live there. Then there are descriptions of the various plants that would work well in those places and how best to take care of them.

This book would be good for people just getting into houseplants, but also for people who want a book with all the information in one place that is also beautiful to display and look at.

A friendly and reassuring guide to selecting and caring for houseplants. Apparently the "black thumb" is a myth (although all the plants I've killed over the years would disagree), and we are simply choosing the wrong plants for the type of space we have, or not caring for them properly. Includes a chapter on determining what kind of light you get in a particular room, and then sections for what kind of plants will work best in each environment. Lots of beautiful photography of happy plants.
