Got Beauty
$16.95

We all love the idea of houseplants, and maybe you've stood by helplessly as a cactus went all slimy or you've endured the perpetual indoor autumn of an unhappy ficus. Good news—all of the plants in this book have two things in common: They're easy to find and hard to kill. The benefits of plant ownership are legion. Studies indicate just being around plants creates a relaxing effect on people. And plants make great roommates—no peace lily will ever criticize you for quitting your workout video to go finish a box of Triscuits. Does your bedroom have a mattress on the floor and string lights taped to the wall? Put a money tree in the corner. Instant upgrade! Are you a corporate lackey trapped under fluorescent lights and a drop-tile ceiling? A colorful calathea or a chunky little aloe could help restore your will to live. The Green Dumb Guide to Houseplants is full of useful advice, crucial dos and don'ts, and realistic inspiration for all budgets and attention spans—ensuring success to even the most risk-averse, commitment-phobic indoor gardeners. Hardcover; 216 pages.
