This is the perfect time for a book like this! With more and more people getting into the houseplant hobby, a good reference for how to care for them is needed. Davidson has done a good job of covering all the basic houseplants. Each plant's needs are covered, from watering, potting and light needs. This would be the perfect gift for anyone new to houseplants.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Cool Springs Press and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Nice illustrated guide to various types of houseplants, their needs, potential problems, and best care. A handy reference for a gardener.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Doctor Houseplant is a great reference tool for indoor plants. I found so many useful tips in this book. I would recommend this book to those that have basic questions or need a little bit of help to better maintain their plants.

This book came right on time.

This summer I bought many indoor plants to decorate my house. I didn't know anything about plants. I wasn't a plant person. But these days I felt my house is so empty, so I added some greens, and now it's so pretty.

After I bought some new plants, some of the plants died. I have no idea why.
This book helps me to figure it out. Some of my plants are covered here, some others are not. But that's okay, there is Google for that.

The pictures are well taken. I like them.

A handy reference for any houseplant parent. The bulk of the text covers 42 of the most common houseplants, listed alphabetically by Latin name. Each entry gets at least a two page spread, more if the plant has many varieties, with photos and all the information you'll need to grow the plant successfully. The information is clear and easy to follow, giving general info about the plant, ideal living conditions, and common problems and solutions. At the end of the book, there's a section covering general tips on choosing and purchasing plants, watering and feeding, how to figure out the lighting in your rooms and what types of plants work where, soil and potting, pests and diseases, symptoms to look for and what they mean, and a glossary of terms. This is a good book for a beginner, and a helpful resource for any level indoor gardener.

An informative and pleasing to the eye guide to plant maintenance.

I had a lot of fun going through this book.
despite it being full of plants I haven't seen before I was so intrigued to learn about new plants and how they can be nourished and made to thrive.

I loved the pictures and loved the short bite sized entries about each plant.

This is a pretty great book to have on hand when picking out or caring for houseplants. When I requested the book, I intended to invest in houseplants but by the time my access to the book ended, I had not read it completely nor used to it to purchase a book. Therefore I cannot really say I 'Read' the book.
I would still recommend it to anyone embarking on the houseplant buying/caring journey.

Doctor Houseplant offers straightforward, helpful information on 42 of the more common houseplants. Each entry has a photo, a description of the conditions that the plant requires and common concerns for the particular plant. The entries are not complicated and are very clear.
We have a few plants on our balcony and I have varying success with them. This Doctor Houseplant gives me greater confidence to expand beyond my usual plants and to experiment with others.

A very informative book on the care and understanding of houseplants. Its very well laid out and I loved how the beautiful clear pictures helped me to understand the different varieties and for troubleshooting.

Thank you netgalley.

Great book for houseplant lovers! Excellent reference tool for caring for a wide variety of plants. Looking forward to recommending this.

Straightforward, thorough guide to taking care of 42 common (and a few not so common) houseplants. Nicey layed out. Easy to follow and visually pleasing.

As someone who alwaus wants plants around, this a wonderful read. It's great for anyone who is a plant newbie or someone struggling with a plant that's seemes to change

There was some good information in this book but unfortunately not enough detail for plants within each category. I did learn some new information about caring for my houseplants.

A useful care guide for a few dozen of the most common houseplants, including light and water requirements, and identifying and combating the most common problems. My only real complaint is that it didn't include entries for some of the plants I have.

This beautiful book is incredibly informative even for a novice planter like myself. The pages provide all sorts of knowledge from positioning the plants, watering them, and even potential dangers to it and how to ameliorate them. I discovered some great new plants I can't wait to try putting in my home. It would make a lovely gift for a plant loving friend.

A lovely
Book
With lots of interesting tips and help! Just what I was looking for! I’ll
Keep referring back to this book when I need some advice

Love this book, with over 40 potential house plants to grow indoors. This book gives information on do and don'ts, which plants can tolerate some inside time to give pleasure at flowering, and others which can live indoor all their life. The information and photographs are really good and easy to understand.
I must admit that when I look at the book a though that some of the plants would not grow indoors, and the book acknowledges the fact but also explains ways to modify ones perception of the word houseplant.
Lots of information, lots to think about especially, these days that many have not got the use of outdoor a garden space, but want to enjoy greenery and flowers inside our homes.

This is a beautifully photographed and informative book about plants that can be grown in the house. There is professional information on the care, feeding, watering and amount of light required to grow each of the featured plants. This is a good resource for those seeking to add some plants to their house that they will be able to keep alive by following the suggestions for each. This is a great reference for the budding indoor gardener.

What is the opposite of a green thumb? My family calls it a black thumb of death and I am the not-so-proud owner of one. There is no plant that I don't murder with the best of intentions and attention. Which is the worst part because I swear I think I'm taking excellent care of my plants even as they die before my eyes.
Enter Doctor Houseplant and his excellently explained and detailed descriptions of the different types of house plants and how to care for them. There is a lot of information on a small number of pages, but the conciseness needed to fit it all in only makes it easier to reference. You can look up plants you already own or figure out what plants to buy depending on the type of light, atmosphere, and temperature of your home. Then you get tips on how to care for the plant and how to problem solve when things aren't at their best. It really does make taking care of a plant seem foolproof.
The one thing that's keeping me from giving it the full five-star rating is that it includes the scientific names for plants and some of the more common monikers, but the nice people at my local hardware store (the only place nearby where I can get plants) do not speak plant and couldn't really help me with that. I was the weird person comparing plants to images on my phone as I tried to figure out if the plant before me was actually the plant I was looking for. I have no idea how this can be resolved, but it was something that I found cumbersome.
Now, I haven't had it long enough to actually vouch for how well it helps me in dealing with my black thumb, but it gave me the confidence to try being a plant mom once again. We'll see how it goes.

Happy thanks to NetGalley and Cool Springs Press for the read!

This houseplant guide book is straightforward and easy to navigate. I tend to kill plants and have been interested in learning more about what I do wrong. I feel this book would be very helpful to have for both new and old plant owners alike. Looking forward to purchasing it for myself and for other plant lovers in my life.
