Book Description/Synopsis:

Indoor plants have gotten a bad rap and are often associated with dusty and dowdy African violets, languishing philodendrons and bloom-free orchids. No longer! It's time for plant lovers to dust off their houseplants, update their image and discover just how exciting, trendy and crucial plants can be in the home. The Unexpected Houseplant, by renowned plant authority Tovah Martin, isn't your typical, old-fashioned, dowdy houseplant book. Tovah's approach is revolutionary - picture brilliant spring bulbs by the bed, lush perennials brought in from the garden, quirky succulents in the kitchen, even flowering vines and small trees growing beside an easy chair. Along with loads of visual inspiration, readers will learn how to make unusual selections, where to best position plants in the home and valuable tips on watering, feeding, grooming, pruning and troubleshooting, season by season. Comprehensive, up-to-the-minute and illustrated with gorgeous photography, The Unexpected Houseplant is for beginners, green thumbs, decorators and anyone who wants to infuse a bit of surprising green into their décor.
