The Ultimate Guide to Pothos Plants, by My Wasteless Life's content creator and house plant coach Marianne Baesa, is an easy to follow reference guide to help house plant enthusiasts to properly identify different varieties, cultivars, and forms of Epipremnum, Scindapsus, and Philodendron pothos plants. This reference guide is the extended book version of the Pothos 101 series on My Wasteless Life Youtube Channel, wherein all the information plant beginners and plant collectors need can all be found in one reference and instructional guide, from properly identifying different varieties of pothos, to how to successfully care for and propagate pothos. In this guide book, around fifty varieties of pothos under the Epipremnum, Scindapsus, and Philodendron species are described to help plant enthusiasts identify each one of them properly. This also teaches new plant parents how to properly care for pothos, and provides thorough but easy to follow instructions on how to successfully propagate pothos cuttings, without getting bogged down on overly complex scientific jargons and propagation methods. Additionally, two bonus chapters from the upcoming House Plants Back to Basics are included at the end: "How to Flush House Plants" and "Yellow Leaves in House Plants".

Book Description
One of the easiest indoor plants to grow, pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is often overlooked in favor of showier plants such as orchids. Though lacking blooms, this tropical vine-similar to philodendron-comes in an array of foliage colors and patterns that appeal to a wide range of tastes and decors. Nearly foolproof even for beginners, pothos is forgiving of neglect, virtually pest- and disease-free, and tolerant of low light, making it a good choice for darker rooms and offices. The long stems trail or climb by aerial roots that adhere to surfaces, making this a versatile choice for hanging baskets, plant stands, and bookshelves. Best of all, pothos is one of the top houseplants for improving indoor air quality, making home and office environments cleaner. GET YOUR COPY TODAY By Scrolling up and Clicking Buy Now

How to Make a Plant Love You

Author: Summer Rayne Oakes
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 0525540288
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
Summer Rayne Oakes, an urban houseplant expert and environmental scientist, is the icon of wellness-minded millennials who want to bring nature indoors, according to a New York Times profile. Summer has managed to grow 1,000 houseplants in her Brooklyn apartment (and they're thriving!) Her secret? She approaches her relationships with plants as intentionally as if they were people. Everyone deserves to feel the inner peace that comes from taking care of greenery. Beyond the obvious benefits--beauty and cleaner air--there's a strong psychological benefit to nurturing plants as a path to mindfulness. They can reduce our stress level, lower our blood pressure, and improve our overall outlook. And they offer a rare opportunity to find joy by caring for another living being. When Summer Rayne Oakes moved to Brooklyn from the Pennsylvania countryside, she knew that bringing nature indoors was her only chance to stay sane. She found them by the side of the road, in long-forgotten window boxes, at farmers' markets, and in local garden shops. She found ways to shelve, hang, tuck, anchor, secure, and suspend them. She even installed a 150-foot expandable hose that connects to pipes under her kitchen sink, so she only has to spend about a half-hour a day tending to her plants--an activity that she describes as a "moving meditation." This is Summer's guidebook for cultivating an entirely new relationship with your plant children. Inside, you'll learn to: Pause for the flowers and greenery all around you, even the ones sprouting bravely between cracked pavement Trust that your apartment jungle offers you far more than pretty décor See the world from a plant's perspective, trading modern consumerism for sustainability Serve your chlorophyllic friends by learning to identify the right species for your home and to recreate their natural habitat (Bonus: your indoor garden won't die!) When we become plant parents, we also become better caretakers of ourselves, the people around us, and our planet. So, let's step inside the world of plants and discover how we can begin cultivating our own personal green space--in our homes, in our minds, and in our hearts.
