I have killed more than a few succulents with my love (my love primarily comes in the form of over-watering). I've been pretty successful with my aloes, jades, hoya, and Easter cactus, but I'm ready to dive deeper into the world of houseplants. This book is adorable. The illustrations are so cute, and it's full of great advice. I feel like I have more information about how to help my plants thrive.

Palimpsest Right there with you on the succulents. And now mine is very leggy and I think I have to cut it down. I must not have had it in a sunny enough spot. This book looks good! 3y

Ok, so a few weeks before I received this book the one and only plant I have been able to keep alive got knocked over and destroyed. It was an adorable Jade plant and I'd had it for 5 years. Every other plant I purchased for my home, I somehow ended up killing it, and I really didn't understand why. Well let me tell you, this is the book for me. Thank you to Netgalley and Tiller Press for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Crazeedi Sounds like a great book! 3y

ElizaMarie @AkashaVampie So technically I am not a house plant kind of girl. I am a Wannabe- house plant kind of girl! I have killed a good number of plants over the years. I am trying to remedy this though and trying to keep my last one alive (so far its okay) ... 3y
