Had the day off today, so I spent the afternoon poking around a local plant store. I decided I really needed a pilea, and couldn‘t really put my finger on why… until I got home and saw the top book in my library stack. I am nothing if not suggestible, apparently 🪴🪴🪴

As a direct result of reading this, I have plastic chopsticks sitting in my Amazon cart and a curbside pick up order from the nursery down the road. An EXCELLENT book if you‘ve ever been annoyed at dumb plant care instructions like “do not overwater”

For the last few years, I‘ve been trying to #readmyowndamnbooks and I never seem to put a dent in the stack. But for 2021, I‘m committing to getting the stack down. First step - gathering all the little stacks around the house and working my way through them before pulling any more off my TBR shelves. I‘ve got 40 books that I pulled together and will be reading from these for the next few months until I‘m through the stack

This book has really helped me up my plant game. I've always loved plants, but I couldn't keep anything alive. So back in April, I decided to really learn how to take care of them and this book was great! I'm still not great with succulents, but all my other plants have been thriving! 🌱🌿🌵

As much as I hate the phrase "plant parent" I gotta admit this was a really great resource on understanding and caring for your houseplants better. The pictures are nice and the final "plant journal" section is a good close-up look at the needs of some of the most popular houseplants. Definitely a better reference guide to own and consult once in a while rather than something to be read straight through, but helpful nonetheless!
