Book Description
From Booklist
In an attractively designed guide highlighting nearly 200 varieties of houseplants, Evans places the emphasis on which plants are best suited to particular conditions in the home. By his reasoning, the kitchen calls for easy-care
selections, and a conservatory or a sunroom lends itself to more exotic specimens. Evans is quite explicit in describing the needs of each plant, any potential problems, and, perhaps more important, the level of care necessary. From plants considered
quite easy to maintain to those difficult but truly intriguing (such as the insect-eating Venus-flytrap), each selection is rated accordingly. Evans includes propagation advice and color photographs in this sound resource for indoor gardeners. Alice

From Book News, Inc.
Nearly 200 varieties of houseplants, old and brand-new, are presented, from leafy green to flowering plants, each with a full page of detailed care and propagation instructions, a color photograph, and a description
of the plant's natural habitat (an unusual but inestimably worthwhile piece of information). Appendices address many topics including watering, humidity, light, pruning, and pests and an excellent glossary. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland,
