Which house plants are delicate and which are indestructible? How much sunlight and water do they need? What will happen to them when you go on holiday? The Kew Gardener’s Guide to Growing House Plants has all the answers, showing you how to find the right plants for your home and the right home for your plants.
Endorsed by experts at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this is the definitive handbook to growing the coolest cacti, succulents, air plants, foliage and flowering plants. It contains detailed instructions on choosing, potting, feeding and propagation, along with profiles of over 75 popular plants and 12 eye-catching ideas to use and display them at home. Beautifully illustrated throughout with artwork from Kew's archives.
