| Summary, Etc. |
"Caring for plants can be a meditative practice, even a form of self-care. Tanner Mitchell knows this firsthand. As the owner of a beloved plant store he opened with his wife in 2020, Tanner has seen how house plants bring so much comfort and joy to people, regardless of what else is going on in their lives or in the larger world. With his kids' encouragement, Tanner began posting plant care tips on TikTok and soon, he found his calling. Now, Tanner combines his expert knowledge and experience into an easy-to-follow and inspiring resource for houseplant care. For the Love of Houseplants covers everything from selecting plants suited to your space's natural conditions to step-by-step guides for watering, repotting, fertilizing, and more. Tanner offers troubleshooting advice for common plant problems, like yellow leaves, brown tips, pests, overwatering, and mushy stems. The book also includes in-depth profiles of thirty of the most popular houseplants -- aglaonema, anthurium, fiddle-leaf fig, orchid, peace lily, philodendron, snake plant, succulents, and many more. Most importantly, Tanner reminds us to appreciate the small joys in life and embrace the challenges and setbacks of plant care as part of the journey. Whether you are a seasoned plant parent or just starting out, For the Love of Houseplants is a must-have for anyone looking to bring a bit of the natural world into their home." -- Provided by publisher.
