HOW NOT TO KILL YOUR HOUSEPLANTS, 29 Feb 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How Not to Kill Your Houseplants: The Foolproof Guide to Lush, Healthy Plants (Paperback)
This amazing book contains all the information you will probably ever need to sucessfully grow houseplants. Many great tips for propagation are also included. This book, listed as 'The foolproof guide to lush, healthy plants', absolutely is the best I have come across concerning the nitty-gritty details of houseplant care. The author writes in a friendly style and includes many examples of common mistakes (which most books don't include) we all make. I heartily recomend 'How not to kill your houseplants'.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Reads like a novel, 20 Jan 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How Not to Kill Your Houseplants: The Foolproof Guide to Lush, Healthy Plants (Paperback)
This book has about three or four useful tips, but you have to read through a lot of blah blah and pointless story telling to get to them. So if you're looking for a short to the point "do this, don't do that" and "buy this plant, not that one" this is not the book for you. It has no information on how to care for specific plants, it's all general. I sent mine back.
Listmania!
