Book Description
With a sense of humor and lots of practical information, this foolproof book is guaranteed to green up the thumb of the worst plant killer.

How NOT to Kill Your Houseplants boldly goes where no plant book has gone before: to the hard-hitting facts of what works and what doesn't work-when it comes to growing lush, beautiful plants that bring joy and beauty into our lives. It does this by exploring the most common causes of plant death:
* Choosing the wrong plants in the first place
* Over-watering them
* The ills of bad soil
* The ill-conceived transplants
* The fertilizing issue
* The bugs issue
* The I-can't-bear-to-prune-my-plants syndrome
* And more!

In so doing, How NOT to Kill Your Houseplants debunks myths left and right-like that disastrous water once a week thing. It throws out the silly plant hype-like that nonsense you find in any other plant book about how fussy African violets are. This down-to-earth guide is chock-full of vivid information, humorous examples and analogies. In short, this foolproof guide is guaranteed to turn around the worst plant killer!
