The Houseplanter: Your Go-To Growing Journal
The Houseplanter is part journal, part checklist, and the perfect place to keep all your houseplant records, reminders, and growing goals in one place.
Whether you’re caring for your first little pot or managing a full indoor jungle, keeping track of your plants can make it easier to give each one the care it needs. Expert gardeners Janet Melrose and Sheryl Normandeau provide guided charts for recording important details, including when and where you acquired each plant, watering and fertilizing needs, repotting dates, and more.
Along the way, Janet and Sheryl share helpful plant-care tips, along with fascinating facts about houseplant history, nomenclature, and folklore.
Think of The Houseplanter as a baby book for your plant babies—a dedicated companion for keeping your plants organized, your care routine on track, and your houseplants happy.
