The colorful, peculiar history of the houseplant-from ancient Rome
to Victorian England to Instagram-a botanical adventure full of
histrionic highs, devastating lows, and sensational turning points
along the way. From the hanging gardens of Babylon to that
fiddle-leaf fig in your living room, houseplants have been
humanity's companions for a millennia. Taming the Potted Beast
explores the history of our air-purifying friends with an
entertaining narrative of the peculiar, often dramatic story of the
cultivation and domestication of the not-so-humble houseplant.
Including entertaining historical vignettes, DIY plant projects,
and accessible tips and tricks for caring for your own historical
houseplant collection, this book has any plant-curious reader
covered. Readers will come away with practical projects, expert
advice, and an understanding of the historical significance of
houseplants as well as an appreciation of the cultures from which
they emerged. Both fascinating and fun, Taming the Potted Beast
will take readers on exhilarating botanical adventure through the
ages.
