Product Description

With over 10 million copies in print, the large-sized version is the world's bestselling book on houseplants. Here it is in a nice compact edition that still has all the facts you need--including the latest how-tos for buying, potting, growing, displaying, treating, and breeding more than 300 varieties. No other volume gives you so much information and advice! Every plant appears in full-color close-up photos and detailed drawings, with lists of over 1,000 types and subspecies, and so much more. Most important: an A to Z guide to plants, from ferns and palms to cacti and orchids.
