Harry N. Abrams The New Plant Parent: Develop Your Green Thumb and Care for Your House-Plant Family

A really great read ! It's a starter bible. Full of helpful infos. My recommendation for a first plant parent read. It gives you pretty much all the the basics (& more), after you can pass on to more advanced knowledge.

This is easily one of my top two favorite plant care books. As a plant collector with well over 100 houseplants, I am always looking for more ways to learn about them and how to care for them and keep them happy. Cheng is obviously very well experienced in the houseplant world, and does an incredible job sharing his wealth of information with us. This book covers a very broad range of topics, from watering how-tos, determining what type of lighting you have, soil and soil amendments, necessary and helpful plant-care tools, propagation methods, etc. Cheng does a wonderful job of giving great detail and scientific information about everything he writes, without making it challenging or confusing. He gives great examples of different plant care situations that help demonstrate the information he provides, and help us to apply the information to our own plants. If you’re wanting to learn how to better care for your plants, you absolutely must read this book!

As a new comer to growing plants I found this book very useful . Filled with good information and illustrations . For a beginner it give step by step guidance to growing healthy plants. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have followed the writer on his social media channels for a while and really like his relaxed, easily explained scientific way of taking care of plants. The book is nicely illustrated, entertaining and informative and changed the way I looked at plants and how to care for them. It suits my needs and I learned a lot from it!

El libro es genial, no vengo a hablar del contenido. Sin embargo, el almacén de amazon podría haberse tomado la molestia de limpiar bien las cubiertas y deshacerse de toda la goma que recorría el lomo del mismo y que hacía que quedase enganchado a cualquier cosa. Imposible incorporarlo a la librería si no quería que los libros de al lado quedasen pegados a él y, luego, sufrieran desgarros.Me he pasado un buen rato frotando con un trapo con un poco de aceite para hacer saltar el adhesivo.
