### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Love the assortment of plants in this book

No complaints..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not COMPLETE, but dang close.
  

*by K***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2022*

Doesn’t cover many different houseplants but quite comprehensive nonetheless. Glad I made this purchase and has been quite handy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Lots of good information
  

*by "***" on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2019*

Overall, this is a worthwhile book with plenty of good information on plant care, propagation, repotting, soil types and most everything else a houseplant enthusiast would want to know. The photos give a good representation of each plant featured.One criticism is that typically only one representative plant of each genus covered is shown and specifically detailed in the text, so if the reader does not appreciate that particular representative, he or she would not know to look at other plants in that genus, which could be more pleasing to the reader's taste.A second point is that after I bought this book I purchased The House Plant Expert by D.G. Hessayon. This is an older book that nevertheless covers more plants and also fixes my previous criticism; there are lots more plants pictured.I would note that generally speaking I do not believe in hard and fast rules for taking care of specific plants. For anyone new to houseplants, there are bound to be failures and Pleasant's book will tell the reader what things to look for to solve plant problems, but trial and error is the best teacher. I also suggest The New Plant Parent by Darryl Cheng for explanation of the relationship between light, temperature and watering.
