The Hidden Histories of Houseplants explores 20 of the world's most
common houseplants. This book isn't just a dry exploration of
historical cultivation; the narrative explores the plants' places
in social history, science and culture, showcasing the most
fascinating elements of each plant's story, be it the exploration
as to why Monstera deliciosa have holes in their leaves, whether
houseplants have the ability to count, or why Calathea leaves open
during the day and close up at night. Accompanied by stunning
illustrations, each text takes the reader on a journey through
time, history and culture, told by the most universally binding
objects in our homes from London to Beijing - houseplants.
