Thuis in planten

by Jason Chongue

Kamerplanten zijn niet meer weg te denken in het interieur van de huidige, jonge generatie. Met winkels als 'Wildernis', 'Plantaardig', 'Stek', 'Bleshyou' maar ook 'Sissy Boy' tover je je huis om tot een heuze mini urban jungle. Maar welke planten zijn geschikt voor welke ruimte en hoe verzorg je ze?

'Thuis in planten' geeft advies over het kiezen, verzorgen en stylen van je kamerplanten en biedt bovendien gedetailleerde informatie over 25 tropische kamerplanten, van weinig onderhoudend tot exotische variaties die meer zorg nodig hebben. Van basisverzorging, verpotten en stekken tot het kiezen van de juiste pot en plant om je interieur meer persoonlijkheid te geven.

Door het hele boek komen verschillende plantenliefhebbers van over de hele wereld aan het woord om hun ervaring te delen. Het creëren van een tropische oase in je eigen huis - zoals je ze op Instagram voorbij ziet komen - was nog nooit zo leuk en makkelijk!

Lovely photos and some basic information, mainly about tropical plants and succulents. A nice book for beginners. I would have liked to have seen more Aussie natives.

Gorgeous, if a bit simple, book about how you can build a better indoor space for your plant. I'm a beginner, but I didn't find myself learning all that much or feeling like I walked away with any richer an understanding of how to make plants happy. I could look at it all day, though - the photography is lush.

I've been improving my houseplant game for years, including growing an oak tree from acorn, and now with a maple tree.

This is the best houseplant guide and reference I've found so far, including key chapters on mixing your own soil based on plant type, repotting, cleaning (something I've always neglected!), and more.

The plant reference guide is also really quite excellent.

Easy to read, entertaining, aesthetic, and informative! Definitely would've been better if it had more Aussie natives in it, but I suppose this book is riding on the current Instagram trend of indoor, non-native greenery (which is totally fine of course).

A beautifully designed and engaging book that explores greenery in an indoor space. There are tips, ideas, and some discussion that will benefit plant lovers of all skill levels.

Nice idea and intention but the content is very weak. Definetively not a guide for begginers.

Nice guide that covers the basics of all aspects to indoor plants. I thought this book had more useful detail than the average book I've read recently on growing indoor plants.

Plant Society by Jason Chongue, an Asian Australian, is unlike the other books in its genre because it is more personal than most other how-to books on gardening. Readers are invited to step into his philosophy on gardening, learned from his grandparents (to who this book is dedicated). Through Plant Society, the wisdom of the past generations on gardening is brought forth into the present day. It implores us to be intentional and to assimilate nature into our modern, hectic lives.
