Overall pretty complete for a beginner.

I had an earlier incarnation of this book years ago. When I recently got back into having house-plants (I moved to the US from Canada a few years ago and had to give my plants away) I found that I had lost my book! This book is so thorough for anyone starting out with houseplants that I knew that all I had to do was find this again and I'd be set. For the advanced horticulturalist this would be a bit lacking for plants that need special care but not by a lot.

Houseplants are a very special way to enhance the living quality and standards of any domicile.

Houseplants are a very special way to enhance the living quality and standards of any domicile. They can add color, fragrance, and elegance to homes and offices, fitting in with any decor or interior design. Drawing upon the experience and expertise of a number of gardening experts, the new Ortho edition of "All About House Plants" not only provides a comprehensive selection guide to more than 150 blooming and foliage plants suitable for indoors, but step-by-step instructions on how to grow healthy plants indoors, and offers practical solutions to common problems encountered with the care and maintenance of house plants. Fully illustrated throughout with full color photography, summary descriptions, and instructions for each plant, "All About House Plants" is a thoroughly 'user friendly' guide that is especially suited for the non-specialist general reader wanting to include indoor plants as part of their home or office environment. Also very highly recommended from Ortho for home gardeners are two other newly published titles: "All About Perennials and "All About Roses".
