The new plant parent : develop your green thumb and care for your house-plant family
Cheng, Darryl2019
Book
For indoor gardeners everywhere, Darryl Cheng offers a new way to grow healthy house plants. He teaches the art of understanding a plant's needs and giving it a home with the right balance of light, water, and nutrients. After reading Cheng, the indoor gardener will be far less the passive follower of rules for the care of each species and much more the confident, active grower, relying on observation and insight. And in the process, the plant owner becomes a plant lover, bonded to these beautiful living things by a simple love and appreciation of nature. This handbook covers all of the basics of growing house plants, from finding the right light, to everyday care like watering and fertilising, to containers, to recommended species.
