Doctor Houseplant provides all you need to know about the maintenance and care of your favorite houseplants.

Introduce gorgeous greenery into your apartment or home with houseplants.

An absolutely excellent resource about houseplants!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 September 2020

I started collecting plants a while ago and haven't been sure how best to care for them. This guide takes you through the most common houseplants and for each gives you details on the best locations, lighting, watering, feeding, seasonal care, and troubleshoots potential problems. There are lots of pictures to help you, and the information is comprehensive yet easy to follow, and there is a repeated format throughout the book. I was immediately able to move some struggling plants to new locations that should suit them much better and have bought a copy straight away to keep easily to hand as a reference.
