About this title

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 Joyce
