Very informative and easy to understand. The pictures are vibrant and the witty “dad” jokes make for a fun read.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance reader copy.

This is a great book for beginner plant parents and those who have been looking after plants for a while and want to get into propagating. It's very in-depth and would make a lovely gift.

Page 84 is upside down.

A beautifully in depth look at house plant propagation. Every type of plant you can think of is represented with a detailed visual breakdown on how to propagate it. I especially loved the section of string of hearts where she noted the origin of the "butterfly method" of propagating them.

As a houseplant lover I have tried to propagate my plants with mixed success!

This book is a great guide to propogation, providing information for beginners and those with more experience. It talks you through the different types of plant, the propagation methods available, mediums, environment and tools

This book is very detailed, but in a user- friendly format so is easy to read. The language used is humourous and informative and there are lots of beautiful photographs of houseplants.

I'm definitely inspired to try propagating a few of my plants again in Spring.

Pro Propagation Guidance

Right off the bat this book features gorgeous illustrations and photos to accompany the friendly breakdown to this plant beginner. I feel like putting these instructions in motion could turn both of my thumbs green and rebound my plant dehydrating reputation. A must have resource for those who want a better understanding and attainable steps.

I received a free copy of this book from Lindsay Sisti and Cool Springs Press. I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

Loved this book! it teaches much more than just propagation. Cannot wait to put in practice what I learned. Is a must have for all aspirational gardeners (or not :D )

I initially picked this up because I wondered if it would make a great gift for my plant-loving family and friends, but I am gifting one myself as soon as this is published.
Sisti’s prose is engaging and I can’t think of a more useful book on houseplants. It deserves the title.

If you've ever been interested in growing houseplants this book is a must. Its the bible basically with the ten commandments of propagation (not really). I learned a lot about how plants reproduce and the pictures are very helpful. The author also includes some dorky humor which keeps the book from reading like a botany textbook. Its very rewarding to turn one house plant into many, making more for yourself or sharing with friends and family. This book is your instruction manual to making it happen. My thanks to the publisher for providing a review copy via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I was SO hoping the entire book would be as gorgeous as this cover... I was not disappointed!

When something so informative double as a coffee table book, you know I'm in.

The book I would have done anything for in my plant hey-day, there is nothing left to be desired. Screw googling each kind of plant and how to chop and prop! Lindsay Sisti did the work for you, and created art in the meantime.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in propagation.

P.S. SAD light therapy lamps work like a CHARM for propping plants that can handle that much light!

Exemplary and a valuable resource for anyone who likes to have houseplants. My favorite houseplant book by far.

The Ultimate Guide to Houseplant Propagation is expected to be released Dec. 31, 2024.

I found some very helpful tips in this book that I have high hopes of helping me prop some of my more rare planty babes.

What an incredibly comprehensive guide for how to propagate houseplants. I've been dabbling in propagation myself for a while now, and it was very much a trial and error but with this book I'm definitely going to level up now.

I loved all the pictures of the plant anatomy as it pertains to propagation jargon, like petiole vs the node. There are even explanations for different types of roots! The soil types and ratios are somethings I have been struggling with the information in this book was very helpful for that.

We get guidance for propagation of all different types of plants from anthuriums, to string of hearts. I found the leaf vain propagation method for begonia especially informative.

This is a really great guide for plant lovers who like to propagate their plants, whether you are just starting or have been doing it for a while already!

It covers all kinds of propagation for tropical plants, succulent, and string plants. The instructions are clear, the picture helps. I love the easy to understand language!!! The sassy and unseriousness. Still insightful. It showed the author's personality and I consider to follow her on social media!!!
No complaints except.... I found 3 pages upside down (p. 102, p. 166, I forgot the other one). Hope it will be fixed in the finished product.
