Not Another Jungle: Comprehensive Care for Extraordinary Houseplants

Product Information

So I think, well, the reason it's been successful for me is because I forgot I had it for a long time I stopped.

I mean, it wasn't all smooth sailing because if you can imagine for instance the variegated Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, not many of them at the time weren't many of them around. Then dive into this book and be taken through detailed chapters on light, water, humidity, fertilisation, variety, propagation and pests and diseases. Not only is this expertly written and backed up by Tony’s only experiences, but the photography (by Jason Ingram) only adds to making this a book of real importance for the houseplant community.This is why I’m so happy that tissue culture exists (if not for all houseplant types), these houseplants can become insanely popular due to social media and we just cannot keep up with the demand. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The photographs by Jason Ingram are of very quality, they are beautiful and complement the text perfectly. If plants are going to grow healthily, they need a balanced fertiliser and different plants require different levels of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium).

Whether you're an experienced plant enthusiast or just starting out, we're here to help you create a thriving indoor plant collection that you'll be proud of.This week's show featured the tracks Roll Jordan Roll by the Joy Drops, The Road We Use To Travel When We Were Kids by Komiku and Overthrown by Josh Woodward. Keith talks to me about his passion for horticulture, his own personal garden and all of his other many exciting interests. It goes into great detail about things like light conditions, without dumbing down the science which is really fascinating to read about! And, he might just reveal his favourite RHS garden, although that is a little like choosing your favourite child! We're rare plants collectors ourselves, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out and ask.

I realised that Tony Le-Britton was houseplant obsessed when I interviewed him some years ago for a feature. Rogier said don't experiment with it, just leave it in a sandwich bag and put it somewhere that's very low light, and not too warm. But there’s also a chapter on variegation, something Tony is madly passionate about and something that can make one plant truly unique to another of the same variety. I hope that the publishers have the photos of me just lying on the floor showing the the absolute glamour that goes into the picture. Please get in touch and we will do our best to source your book, no matter how unusual or specialist.So congratulations, Tony and I'm sure you'll get a fabulous response from people who do go out and invest in a copy. I'm looking at 90 plus percent humidity here on the care information, I'm thinking, yeah, that's going to be a challenge.
