[will] keep you reading., For those who have tired of spider plants and cactus, garden writer Martin (The New Terrarium) suggests a year's worth of new options. She begins her tour in autumn (the start of the indoor gardener's year) and offers dozens of tempting suggestions. There are familiar bulbs and unexpected conifers, fruiting trees, and carnivorous plants. Each plant listing includes a photograph and an information box describing its flower, foliage, cultivation requirements, and potential problems. What really sets this apart from other reference guides are Martin's imaginative choices. She dares readers to invite conifer trees and summer coleus inside for the winter and explains how to help the plants thrive there. She lures readers beyond the Christmas poinsettia to the whimsical, Dr. Seussian charm of a holiday Echeveria. She offers fruit, fragrance, foliage, and flower. Clineff's full-color photographs provide plenty of inspiration for the home gardener and decorator. This is an imaginative guide to bringing the delights of the garden indoors., Good choice for plant geeks and anyone tired of the same old peace lilies, ivies and Boston ferns., "Will boost the confidence of even the most black-thumbed houseplant owner.

Great Book
The book itself is great and very helpful. Lots of unique ideas on what to plant. There are quite a few "Common" plants that are not really unexpected at all. Feels like they just tried to bulk the book. Still I enjoy the book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
