This was a practical helpful starter book but it didn’t go into a lot of detail。 All the information was readily available online so it seemed like just a collection of web pages。

Nice notes and tips with cute accompanying graphics， amazing photography， wish it was organised either by alphabet or species/ habitats by Anything really， but other than that is a wonderful handly little book and I ordered a copy for my mother who recently got into her plants :）

Cute little coffee table read。 Good information on which common houseplants I could actually keep alive in my home of little light。 Beautiful photography！

It’s cute as a ready reference， but not necessarily what I was looking for in the way of more in-depth information。 Super cute book， though。 I enjoyed looking at the plant profiles and the pictures， of course。 Gonna get myself a rubber tree！ 🪴

This simple book is great for people new to the plant world。 Each page includes a picture of the plant and a short page of text。 Sibley uses a series of symbols to represent basic things plants need such as light， water， propagation， warnings， and humidity （among others）。 This makes it easy for quick references as well。 I wish this book included more on toxicity levels for pets。 There is only one plant with a major warning for toxicity despite many other plants being listed as toxic on the Human This simple book is great for people new to the plant world。 Each page includes a picture of the plant and a short page of text。 Sibley uses a series of symbols to represent basic things plants need such as light， water， propagation， warnings， and humidity （among others）。 This makes it easy for quick references as well。 I wish this book included more on toxicity levels for pets。 There is only one plant with a major warning for toxicity despite many other plants being listed as toxic on the Humane Society's comprehensive list of toxic and non-toxic plants。 This is my reason for 3 stars， so if this is not a concern to you then it is definitely worth your time！ 。。。more

I've been trying to get more into house plants and this book is a beautifully designed reference of many popular house plants （though Pathos aren't in it？？ I though that was a go-to for your non-green thumbs！）The images are beautiful， the info us short and to the point。 There were a few times where I wished she had gone into a bit more detail about certain things。 Or maybe I just need a plants for dummies book。 I definitely recommend it and will reference it in the future。 I've been trying to get more into house plants and this book is a beautifully designed reference of many popular house plants （though Pathos aren't in it？？ I though that was a go-to for your non-green thumbs！）The images are beautiful， the info us short and to the point。 There were a few times where I wished she had gone into a bit more detail about certain things。 Or maybe I just need a plants for dummies book。 I definitely recommend it and will reference it in the future。 。。。more

A fun beginners book with quick tips and beautiful photos。 This book is useful because it's not daunting， but it still lacks a lot of contextual and specific information （definitions， directions， etc。。。）。 This is the perfect book for someone just getting into caring for house-plants， but the information in it is a little to shallow for a veteran。 A fun beginners book with quick tips and beautiful photos。 This book is useful because it's not daunting， but it still lacks a lot of contextual and specific information （definitions， directions， etc。。。）。 This is the perfect book for someone just getting into caring for house-plants， but the information in it is a little to shallow for a veteran。 。。。more

this book has really good basic information， has a pretty decent array of all the most common house plants and is set out beautifully！ theres also a nice easy glossary at the back and links to products used in the photos - its not gonna have the super in depth plant facts you might want if thats more your thing but it doesnt set out to fulfil that， its a perfect beginners guide！
