Doctor Houseplant

An Indispensable Guide to Keeping Your Houseplants Happy and Healthy

About this book

This comprehensive guide to houseplants covers 42 of the most popular houseplants, with all the information you need to help them thrive.

Introduce gorgeous greenery into your apartment or home with houseplants. In addition to being affordable and easy to transport if you move, houseplants can instantly create a lively and inviting interior. You can start small and build a plant collection as your confidence grows.

To care for your collection, you’ll need to take into consideration every plant’s individual needs. While some plants are easy to care for—particularly cacti, succulents, and snake plants—some of the most spectacular may need a little extra love.

Doctor Houseplant provides all you need to know about the maintenance and care of your favorite houseplants. Each of the 42 plant profiles includes:

  • A general discussion of the plant’s qualities and history
  • Different varieties of the plant and what distinguishes each
  • What to look for when purchasing
  • Ideal conditions
  • Common concerns


Nurture healthy, happy plants with techniques for:

  • Choosing and buying
  • Watering and feeding
  • Light and position
  • Potting and repotting
