The Kew Gardener’s Guide to Growing House Plants: The art and science to grow your own house plants (Volume 3) (Kew Experts, 3) Hardcover – Illustrated, April 16, 2019

Good reference book for beginners.

Very informative and pictures are spot on.

I loved all the wonderful advice on the houseplants I have, which has helped me improve on care, such as light, watering and fertilizer.

The Kew Gardener’s Guide to Growing House Plants is a guide to keeping houseplants healthy and thriving at home. Released 7th March 2019 by Quarto on their White Lion imprint, it's 144 pages and available in ebook and hardcover format.Whenever gardeners think about inspiration and knowledge on a worldwide scale, the Kew gardens are at the very top of a very short list. They've been going strong for almost 260 years at this point. This book includes an herbal compendium of culture and care info for more than 70 individual houseplants along with several attractive plantings arranged as projects.Worth noting: this guide is written primarily with gardeners in the British Isles in mind, so some of the common names will be different for readers in other areas of the world. All of the plants in the individual plant listings have their proper genus and species information, so it's not a problem to be sure of a correct ID. The ebook version also has an interactive table of contents which is very handy.Much of the photography is from stock photos, but all of the project photos are purpose made for this edition. The culture information is straightforward and peppered with good tips and tricks for encouraging the best performance from all of your plants (and getting the best results with difficult or finicky plants).Four stars. Well written and full of attractive photography.Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes

The Kew Gardener's Guide to Growing House Plants by Kay Maguire is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early April.Projects based around a design theme and the space you have to devote to your plants, balancing the way they should be displayed versus the amount of light they need, choosing soil/mulch/compost, and transplanting cuttings. Much like 'Growing Herbs,' this Kew Gardener's offers an outline of each plant, their ideal temperature and growing conditions, and water/light levels.

This book is not very lengthy but is really nice. Good assortment of pictures and words. From my experience some of these are not too difficult to grow inside but others have been.

I was fortunate to have had the pleasure of visiting the Kew gardens in London and was excited to purchase the book. I love the book, great images of plants with a lot of useful information. The book is a nice size and great reference. I recommend.

Illustrations are beautiful and it’s full of great info!!!
