Houseplants bring life into the home, literally.

They produce oxygen and refresh the air indoors, they liven up small spaces, and they make the perfect companions since they don't demand much more than a sunny window and some water.

Of course, for those who have never grown houseplants before, the mere idea of bringing one inside conjures up all sorts of questions and concerns.

Don't different plants need different amounts of light? How much water is too much? If I have kids or pets, which plants should I avoid?

Relax! Growing plants is supposed to be a joy-filled activity, so before you let all your concerns come pouring out, consult Houseplants 101.

Written with beginners and experienced gardeners alike in mind, this book covers everything, from picking the right plants for your space to making them fit right in with decorative pots and hanging baskets.

Experience the emotional and psychological benefits of keeping houseplants, which have been shown to reduce feelings of depression and provide an outlet to those with anxiety.

Your small corner of the world will grow a bit greener when you learn about the best indoor plants for all types of caretakers, why succulents are so popular, and how to make your plants not only happy and lush, but also stylish.

In addition, you'll discover:

● Which houseplants are the hardest to kill (perfect for those who do not consider themselves to have green fingers yet!)

● How to ensure your plants get adequate light

● Why repotting is an important step in the growth cycle of a plant

● High-maintenance plants for the more adventurous indoor gardeners

● The best plants for every type of home, from those that have an abundance of sunlight to the ones that are darker than a cave

And much, much more!

As a bonus, you'll even find a growing guide for edible plants that you can keep inside all year round!

Everyone can grow plants, and that's what Houseplants 101 will prove.

About the Author

Peter Shepperd is in his 40s, his interest in gardening started when he decided to give his family access to fresh, homegrown, and organic food. Peter has been studying new gardening approaches to diversify his experience and skillset. His experimentation has allowed him to figure out what works and what definitely doesn't. He disagrees with the use of pesticides and chemicals. He has decided to produce this series of books to cover all aspects of growing, gardening, and organic sustainability.Peter has spent over a decade experimenting with different gardening techniques and perfecting his approach to growing fruits, vegetables, herbs, and other plants. Not only this, but he has learned how to make the most of each part of the food that he grows.Teaching others has become his passion as some affordable, and straightforward practices have entirely transformed how his family gets access to healthy, delicious, nutritious, and attainable food. Peter's vision is to slowly transition more and more people away from the often-tasteless vegetables that are purchased in supermarkets and are heavily reliant on the use of chemicals that are damaging the environment, towards homegrown organic healthy produce, believing that the process of doing so will also help grow the person that has produced them as well.Peter lives with his family near Windsor in England.
