About a year ago, I bought a parlor palm for my son’s room because I read somewhere that they an excellent air purifier. Still alive! I got a bit bold and slowly started adding bigger and more high maintenance plants (cough, croton cough). A lot of my plants stayed alive, but a few didn’t. What I learned is that plants require special and doing your research about a plant can help you keep them alive longer and even thrive! I get a lot of my information on the internet, but I love buying books as well! Today I’m sharing three books that all plant lover should have in their library!
Are You A Plant Lover? Add These 3 Books To Your Library!
Thank you, CANADIAN MANDA GROUP for gifting me with these amazing books for my collection.
Five years ago if you bought me a plant as a gift, I would have given you the stink eye! Fast forward to today, my house is a jungle, and I love all.the.plants. My love for plants started about 4 1/2 years ago when my sister bought me my very first succulent that didn’t die after a week! Imagine how excited I was to see this! I was so used to plants wittering away after a few days! After months went by and my succulent just stayed alive, I started added more succulents. They were known for being low maintenance, and that’s all the encouragement I needed to keep them around! Below, I share three books about all things plants that I’ve been loving.
How to Houseplant: A Beginner’s Guide to Making and Keeping Plant Friends by Heather Rodino
If you are a brand new plant lover, I highly suggest getting this book. Heck, even if you’ve been a plant lover forever, you should still get this book. This book is super easy to read, and it is packed with so many useful tips and information. What I really love about Heather is her ability to write like she’s talking to an old friend.

The New Plant Parent: Develop Your Green Thumb and Care for Your House-Plant Family by Darryl Cheng
The New Plant Parent is a must! I started reading this a few months ago, and I’m always learning something new on how to care for my plant babies. Darryl Cheng is on Instagram as well, and I started stalking…I mean, following him for daily tips! His book is very well known amongst the plant parents of the interweb. His book his the reason why I started looking around for a Monstera deliciosa! Trust me, they are hard to find and can be a bit pricey as well.
