Kew Gardens Guide to Growing Houseplants by Kay Maguire
- Description
Keep the Houseplants Happy
Seventy houseplants. Twelve projects. And some very clever people at Kew to tell you what you're doing wrong.
The Kew Gardens Guide to Growing Houseplants by Kay Maguire brings the horticultural know-how of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew indoors.
Featuring 70 carefully selected houseplants, this beautifully illustrated guide helps you work out what to grow, where to put it and — crucially — how to keep it looking rather lovely once it gets there.
From easy-going cacti and succulents to orchids, bromeliads and fabulous foliage plants, there's practical advice for both complete beginners and those whose homes are already beginning to resemble small jungles.
Alongside the plant profiles are 12 step-by-step projects for getting a little more creative with your greenery. Make a miniature terrarium, try your hand at a kokedama moss ball, create a desert display, hang plants with macramé or use foliage to create a rather clever natural screen.
Beautiful enough for the coffee table but useful enough to actually earn its place there.
