Whether it's driven by a passion for houseplants, a desire to grow
more tomatoes, or an interest in having a garden bursting with
colourful flowers, many people find themselves wanting more plants.
Luckily, it's easy to make more of your favourite plants - and it
can be done for free! Plant Parenting, by horticulture expert
Leslie F. Halleck, is a beginner-friendly introduction to plant
propagation through cuttings, layering, dividing, and more. Halleck
details the basic tools necessary, demystifies seed starting and
saving, and shares easy-to-follow instructions for the most
practical techniques. She also provides additional information on
controlling pests and diseases and transplanting seedlings and
cuttings. Charming, richly illustrated, and accessible, Plant
Parenting is for beginning gardeners, houseplant fans, and anyone
looking to make more of their favourite plants.
From the visual variety of foliage to the wide range of artfully
designed pots and planters, keeping houseplants is an addictive
hobby that's enjoying a renaissance in popularity. In Plant
Inspiration Frame-Ups, 50 beautifully illustrated affirmation cards
derive wisdom from the world of indoor plants, with each card
featuring clever plant-art interpretations of classic phrases.
"Don't be afraid to take up space" is juxtaposed with a monstrous
monstera plant engulfing a living room; "Take a moment to breathe"
features a collection of air plants suspended in hanging planters;
and "Create something" comes alive with an illustration of a spider
plant sprouting many pups. Bright, whimsical, and uplifting, these
cards call out to be displayed, and the Frame-Ups format makes it
easy to do just that. With a pull-out tabletop frame included, you
don't need to have a green thumb to display your favorite saying or
swap it out for another whenever you need fresh perspective.
"This book will help you keep your plants healthy."--Minneapolis
Star Tribune, 7 Books to Shake Up Your Home Decor Houseplants are
more popular than ever before--especially with millennials, who are
setting up their homes for the first time and discovering that
nothing can add energy, style, and that essential "lived-in-ness"
to their spaces better than a little bit of green. Whether it's a
statement-making fiddle-leaf fig or a tiny tabletop succulent, a
houseplant instantly elevates the look of your home. But where to
begin? In Decorating with Plants, Baylor Chapman walks readers
through everything they need to know to bring houseplants into
their home. First, there's Plant Care 101: from how to assess light
conditions to tricks for keeping your plants alive while on
vacation, Chapman gives readers the simple, foundational info they
need to ensure their plants will thrive. Then she introduces us to
28 of her favorites--specimens that are tough as nails but
oh-so-stylish, from the eye-catching Rubber Tree to the delicate
Cape Primrose. Finally, she guides readers through the home room by
room: Place an aromatic plant like jasmine or gardenia to your
entry to establish your home's "signature scent." Add a proper
sense of scale to your living room with a ceiling-grazing palm.
Create a living centerpiece of jewel-toned succulents for a dining
table arrangement that will last long after your dinner party. From
air purification to pest control, there's no limit to what
houseplants can do for your home--and Decorating with Plants is
here to show you how to add them to spaces big and small with
style.
