Review: Love it - The book really tells you what you need to know about houseplants. If I have a question or need to check something out I will go to Complete Houseplants Survival to see what I should do. Review: Best houseplant book I have found - This has been such a useful book on my houseplant journey. I have never been someone who could keep plants alive but suddenly at age 32 a switch went off and I am now a plant person. I am sure all of this information is available in some form online but it is so nice to have everything easily accessible in the same format for each plant and in bullet points. This book is pretty much a basic care encyclopedia. It has a lot of general plant care information including how to propagate all different kinds of plants to help you start your plant army. It also breaks down information by plant species to give more specifics on care. The information makes it super simple to make sure you are giving your new plat friend enough water, light, fertilizer, and humidity. It has what soil is best for each plant and tips for how to troubleshoot what is wrong with your plant. I reach for this book whenever I bring a new plant home and it has made me much more confident in my crazy plant lady adventure. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #430,511 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #18 in Ornamental Plant Gardening (Books) #23 in Container Gardening (Books) #26 in Container Gardening (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![The Complete Houseplant Survival Manual: Essential Gardening Know-how for Keeping (Not Killing!)

I have however received over the years a fair number of them, and have bought some myself, because my wife likes them. In my situation, I feel like I have received a lot of good tips about plants to make me appreciate them more and care for them better. I now understand better what types of soil to use (apparently there are 6 common types of soil), why/how to repot, how to water, and where to place plants. Another weird thing thay I never understood, namely the trimming of plants, is explained well here. Plants are apparently not like people. You can cut away large portions of them and they dont't mind, or even enjoy it. Another magical part that I didn't think possible was plant propagation. In short and rough words, you can apparently cut away parts of the plant, and make a new plant out of that. This works for almost all plants. Who would have guessed? :D This book contains sections that help you identify your plants. If so, identification is harder if you're reading this on a kindle device. To make up for this, look up the plant classes on the internet, and you'll be fine. I do recommend this book to whoever likes house plants, but people who are only trying to not kill their plants (like myself) can also benefit a lot from this :p --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/98277662-the-complete-houseplant-survival-manual-essential-gardening-know-how-keeping](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/98277662-the-complete-houseplant-survival-manual-essential-gardening-know-how-keeping) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
