Not everyone has an outside garden space but that doesn’t stop you enjoying growing living plants in your home. There is an enormous variety of houseplants available, and this guide offers expert advice on choosing the best ones and creating an environment in which they will thrive. The book includes glossy evergreens, feather ferns, elegant palms and beautiful flowering plants of every colour and size.

There is information about choosing the right containers, feeding and watering, potting and pruning, dealing with disease, and easy propagation methods.

A photographic A–Z directory features over 350 varied plant species, suitable for all the different rooms in a home, and offers useful hints and tips on routine care and maintenance.

The book is both a reference guide and a practical handbook for all those who want to make the most of their houseplants.
