Whether you’ve got one lonely pothos on the bedside table or a full-blown hallway jungle, this book helps you build a collection that actually fits your personality and lifestyle.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Plant-care basics – light, watering, choosing plants, seasonal care and how not to spiral over a yellow leaf.
• Next-level care – humidity hacks, propagation tips, and how to mix your own soil blends.
• A fun quiz to work out your “plant parenting” style.
• 26 houseplant profiles you can basically swipe right on.
