Publisher's Notes
With nearly 10 million copies in print, it's the world's best-selling book on house plants, and it's back again, better than ever, in a new edition with the latest tips for buying, potting, growing, displaying, treating, and breeding more than 300 varieties. No other volume gives you so much information and advice! Every plant appears in full-color close-up photos and detailed drawings, with lists of over one thousand types and sub-species, and so much more. In fact, there's so much here that first you'll want to stop by the special how-to sections. You learn the Ten Golden Rules for plant care see how to select the plants you want, and find suitable containers, from traditional pots and planters to hanging baskets, screens, terrariums, and plant windows. Be sure to take the room-by-room tour of your house. It shows you where to place eye-catching focal point plants and how to group smaller plants, from guest-welcoming living room and dining arrangements to cozy kitchen and hallway displays, to imaginative ways to transform the two least-used spaces for plants -- the bedroom and bathroom. Then it's on to the "secrets of success" instructions on how to maintain the best temperature, light, water, and humidity for each plant. But you'll probably spend the most time browsing and studying the A-Z guide to plants, as you think about your favorite flowering plants, ferns, palms, cacti and succulents, bromeliads, orchids, herbs, fruits, vegetables, insectivores, climbers, trailers -- just about every place in your house will benefit from an idea from the House Plant Expert and David Hessayon, the world's best selling gardening author!

How to Grow Fresh Air
by B. C. Wolverton
In research designed to create a breathable environment for a NASA lunar habitat noted scientist Dr. B. C. Wolverton discovered that houseplants are the best filters of common pollutants such as ammonia, formaldehyde, and benzene. Hundreds of these poisonous chemicals can be released by furniture, carpets, and building material, and then trapped by closed ventilation systems, leading to the host of respiratory and allergic reactions now called Sick Building Syndrome. In this full-color, easy-to-follow guide, Dr. Wolverton shows you how to grow and nurture 50 plants as accessible and trouble-free as the tulip and the Boston fern, and includes many beautiful but commonly found varieties not generally thought of as indoor plants. He also rates each plant for its effectiveness in removing various pollutants, and its ease of growth and maintenance.
Hip Houseplants
by Jeremy Hopley
In Hip Houseplants, Orlando Hamilton transforms the Cinderella reputation of indoor plants, demonstrating how their chic shapes and living color can complement every stylish interior. The Ultimate Design Accessory: Discover serenely scented plants for bedrooms, scene-stealers for grand entrance halls, and even "desktop ionizers" for home offices. Orlando shows how there is an auspicious plant for every part of the home, including steamy bathrooms and tiny kitchens. He also explains how to match plants to every type of decor. In vivid and inspiring photographs, he presents, for example, elegant palms as an integral part of a sumptuous Moroccan room, and porcelain-delicate orchids as a sublime touch in an Asian Fusion-style setting. Stylish Containers Lit to Perfection: The right container provides the perfect link between a plant and its surroundings. Wooden containers, lacquered bowls, and even kitchen colanders are pressed into service with stunning results. Orlando shows how to use pebbles, stones, and moss as trims and how to highlight plants with dramatic halogen and fiber-optic lighting. With advice on plant care and a useful resource section, Hip Houseplants has everything you need to enhance your interiors with the ultimate in stylish greenery.
