The Houseplanter: Your Go-To Growing Journal
About this ebook
Whether you’re just getting started with your very first little pot or have accidentally found yourself manager of a mini jungle, you’ll know that houseplants require at least a little bit of regular maintenance. With this handy journal, expert gardeners Janet Melrose and Sheryl Normandeau help you keep track. This guided journal provides charts for recording all the pertinent information about your plants, including where and when you acquired them, when they last had their shot of fertilizer, how often they like to be watered, when they were last repotted, and more.
And while you fill in your charts, Janet and Sheryl fill you in with tips on plant care and facts about houseplant history, nomenclature, and folklore. Kind of like a baby book for your plant babies, The Houseplanter is a dedicated companion notebook to keep things on track and your houseplants happy and accounted for.
