Also a book I borrowed from my grandmother (still a Pennsylvania Master Gardener) for tips and a selection of books for my indoor garden. This book has fewer tips than Ortho's Guide to Successful Houseplants, the other book I borrowed but has a lot more information on growing specific plants. With these two books, I'm sure to have a veritable jungle...sometime.

This older book is an excellent resource for all things houseplants. Taylor enables the reader to acquire a "green thumb" through the use of this book. The pictures and illustrations encourage the reader to become a houseplant lover.

This book has helped me I.D. a number of mystery plants, and discover some I didn't even know about.

An awesome reference for anyone just starting out with indoor plants.
