Day 181: the book "Complete Guide to Houseplants"

Hi again,
This post is for yesterday because I was unable to post. For this post I am thankful for a specific book today- "the Complete Guide to Houseplants. The easy way to choose and grow happy healthy houseplants" This is actually a library book so I don't own it but it is an amazing book!The reason for this is because I learned alot flipping through the book especially on the day I got it. The day I got it out of the library, I had also gone to Walmart and I had been looking at houseplants. I had seen a houseplant at Walmart that I liked but of course it didn't have a name on it. So I started flipping through this book and happened to land on the page for this exact plant I had just seen in Walmart. lol I found that quite amazing. The plant is called a Button Fern. This book has the most houseplants in it that I have ever seen in a book from the books I have looked at and it has a section on each plant to explain how to take cuttings if it is possible. I really like that because I love taking cuttings off of our plants to make new plants. I also learned that spider plants do not have to be attached to the parent plant to be rooted and this is something I have been wondering. There is so much information in this book that I am quite thankful for it! I also discovered what the name of one of our nameless plants is! lol This book is a great book if you are into growing houseplants like we are. :) I am sure there are still lots of plants not included in this book because of the amount of houseplants out there but it has every single one of our plants in there and more. It is very helpful to know the name of the plants because it makes it much easier to know what the plants need to be happy. So this is why I am so thankful for this particular book! :)
