"By matching awkward spaces in your home with environments in the natural world, The Green Indoors is here to show you how you and your home can find the perfect plant matches. Broken down by types of space, each chapter compares the area to the relevant climate. A selection of plants that suit are then profiled, including mini maps to indicate origin, easy-to-follow tips on feeding and watering, optimum conditions, prospective growth, and of course, stunning photography and illustration. A troubleshooting chapter deals with common problems, and what to try all hope is lost. By focussing on working with the plants you already own to relocate them to improve their growth, this is a sustainable and innovative approach to plant care"--Publisher's description
