House Plants for Every Space did not turn out to be what I expected. Instead of great suggestions in placing plants and showing off some intriguing combinations what I got was confusing groupings of lovely photos of Latin named plants and no particular guideline for their care. I did learn the importance of good air flow not air conditioning and good cautionary advice regarding pruning and light and watering habits. Overall , this is a nice bunch of pictures and only general plant care instruction.

I’m at the library and wanted something to read to pass time, so I grabbed this book. I had a few concerns on a few of my plants and just wanted to know more about them in general. very informative and covered all the plants! i recommend this book if you want to recover your plant or just learn more! 🌵

I guess I should have paid more attention to the words “basic” and “beginner” because this is a very pretty book and nicely laid out, but the info and step-by-step guides for selecting and taking care of plants is simple and superficial for anyone with any familiarity with plants. And then the bulk of the book is pictures of various kinds of plants and they are all unique or rare or hard to find types with no individualized descriptions or care information.

Lots of great plants and great pictures, but not a lot of substance. There are far better books out there on plants and plant care and groupings than this one.

Beautiful photos but all scientific names, no common names and poor description of care”.

I love pretty much any book about plants, particularly if it has great photos. This book has a lot of basic info on seasonal care and some information on plant form that I hadn’t read elsewhere.

It has a beautiful plant catalog, however the plants are identified by their formal names without including (in most cases) their common names, which made it a little more challenging to identify specific plants. (This is a book written by Japanese authors and translated into English, so it is possible that common names I am familiar with would be different for them. Not sure.)

I did take away a few things I didn’t know and enjoyed the gorgeous photography.

House Plants for Every Space... a very confusing book full of large plants I've never heard of! There were many images of beautiful plants and several residences with a few plants featured, but very little direction to grow houseplants and help them thrive. Very basic book, perhaps meant for a coffee table instead of actual learning to care for plants or how to style plants.

I enjoyed paging through this book about houseplants. The authors start with a section showcasing houseplants in people's homes, which I found inspiring. They also give care details for many different houseplants.
