37 Houseplants Even YOU Can't Kill

 Shirley J.               Adult Non-Fiction                      37 Hearty plants that can survive on minimal care 

Finally the book for me and growing things.  This book offers photos of 37 different hearty house plants that don't require much from their human housemates.   Some need little or no sun and will still flourish.   Some need just a trickle of water now and then, camels of the plant world, but o.k. to forget to water or offer no plant food/fertilizer - frankly, for the most part, these plants don't need you but the off spritz of water now and then will be appreciated.   These plants thrive in dark places, hot places, cool places, sunny places or shoved in a corner and forgotten for weeks at a time.  While you live your life the plant will keep on keepin' on doing its thing, rowing and thriving until you finally remember you get thirsty, maybe the plant does, too.   Funny, witty and packed full of gorgeous illustrations and facts and tips on wonderful looking easy maintenance plants.   The hardest thing might be to leave them alone and try not to over water when you do.   Use that finger in the dirt trick.  It the dirt is dry - so is the plant.   If the dirt is moist or wet come back in a week or two.   Good book.  I recommend it to kids once they are able to read and comprehend on up to senior adults.
