37 Houseplants Even You Can’t Kill: A Review
Where has this book been all my life?
I grew up with a Mom who filled our house with lush, green plants, and grew exotic orchids in her green house. Her garden was the envy of friends and family.
So why, oh why, am I unable to keep any plant alive? Why didn’t any of my Mom’s green thumb rub off on me?
If you’re a “black” thumb like me, take heart. Mary Kate Hogan’s book, 37 Houseplants EVEN YOU Can’t Kill is here to help us actually grow things.
The Good
- 37 Houseplants EVEN YOU Can’t Kill is a straightforward book on houseplants with only the basic information you need to keep your plants happy and healthy. The book offers enough information to keep your plants looking healthy and strong.
- You’ll learn the basics about certain plants and how to keep them alive and good-looking.
- Plants included in the book (with photographs) are, for example, the Peace Lily and African Violets.
The Bad
- *Only* 37 houseplants are included in the book. You may not find a specific plant you want to grow.
The Bottom Line
If you are looking for a book on a few common houseplants that will beautify your home and that gives you easy tips on how to keep them looking nice without too much work, 37 Houseplants EVEN YOU Can’t Kill by Mary Kate Hogan is the book for you. If, on the other hand, you want more detailed information and photos about a whole range of houseplants, then you will find this book too basic.
