Grow in the Dark: How to Choose and Care for Low-Light Houseplants

Description

In Grow in the Dark, houseplant guru Lisa Eldred-Steinkopf shares her expert knowledge on the 50 best houseplants to grow in dimly lit spaces. Having a south-facing window doesn't always guarantee you the best light to grow plants-especially if your window faces an alley or a tree-lined street. What's the point of growing an urban jungle if tall buildings are blocking all your sunshine? This compact guide, designed to look as good on your shelf as it is useful, will help you learn how to make the most of your light so you can reap the physical and emotional benefits of living with plants. Detailed profiles include tips on watering your plants just right, properly potting them, and troubleshooting pests and diseases. You'll also learn which plants are safe to keep around your pets. Whether you live in a shady top-floor apartment or a dungeon-y garden level, this book will help you grow your plant collection to its healthiest for its Instagram debut.

Lisa Eldred Steinkopf is The Houseplant Guru, who features all things houseplants on her blog, thehouseplantguru.com. She harbors well over 1,000 houseplants in her home.
