The Unkillables

Forty resilient house plants, for anyone who has lost one and wants the next to live. The book opens with a quiz to work out which plants suit your home and the amount of attention you can realistically give them, on the basis that the common mistake is buying the plant you like rather than the plant for the space you have.

Each of the forty is detailed with what it needs to stay healthy. A first-aid section covers common ailments, along with potting, watering and feeding.
