Absolutely loved this book! I’m a chronic plant killer and Craig has inspired me to stand up to my critics and give it another chance and buy more plants and leave them in their plastic pots (unless of course they need my love …). Thank you Craig, I can’t wait for Spring (and to recover from COVID) and hit the nursery!

Covers the basics, and it’s nicely organised with an a-z of indoor plants before going over the soil/light/water/temperature requirements.
There was a nice section of styling, which was a bit different, and some good tips along the way.
