The New Plant Parent: Develop Your Green Thumb and Care for Your House-Plant Family [Cheng, Darryl, Cheng, Darryl] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The New Plant Parent: Develop Your Green Thumb and Care for Your House-Plant Family

Review: Very informative with lots of pictures - This is very informative with LOTS of pictures, which I appreciate. It’s easy to understand without being super basic. He also included progress pictures of his plants over time, really shows how much time and effort he put into this book. 100% recommend
Review: Great gift for your friend with an unhealthy indoor plant obsession (or a treat to yourself)!! - I have over 100 plants in my apartment, but I don't consider myself a plant expert. I have been given a few different plant books as gifts from friends (who know I'm a crazy plant lady) and each has its own strengths. Some are well-designed and pleasing to flip through, others look more like catalogues but are packed with useful information, and still others are written more like novels, expressing a deep appreciation for plants. I would hands down recommend "The New Plant Parent" as a first indoor plant book over the other ones (that isn't to discourage you from buying other ones - this just hits plant basics more explicitly than other books I have). This is a really great book for anyone that wants to learn more about keeping indoor plants or anyone that is looking for a friend who has a seemingly unhealthy addiction to plants. I've been following Daryl Cheng's instagram (@houseplantjournal) for a while - his book is just as aesthetically pleasing and packed with helpful tips and explanations (e.g. "three practical watering methods") as his Instagram. The added benefit is that his voice carries over in the book so that it feels like you're sitting in a plant-filled room watching him show you what to do for your plants. The book starts with plant basics (lighting, watering, soil, pruning, dealing with different types of pests) and then describes how to care for some of the most popular indoor plants... and it's packed with photos that actually show you what he describes in the text. EXCELLENT gift for a friend, but also a wonderful way to treat yourself! :) You won't regret it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book for beginner to intermediate plant parents!
*by R***. on August 12, 2023*

This is easily one of my top two favorite plant care books. As a plant collector with well over 100 houseplants, I am always looking for more ways to learn about them and how to care for them and keep them happy. Cheng is obviously very well experienced in the houseplant world, and does an incredible job sharing his wealth of information with us. This book covers a very broad range of topics, from watering how-tos, determining what type of lighting you have, soil and soil amendments, necessary and helpful plant-care tools, propagation methods, etc. Cheng does a wonderful job of giving great detail and scientific information about everything he writes, without making it challenging or confusing. He gives great examples of different plant care situations that help demonstrate the information he provides, and help us to apply the information to our own plants. If you’re wanting to learn how to better care for your plants, you absolutely must read this book!
