This is not what I got in this book, but that's okay because what Tovah Martin does is go into depth about a few plants that she sees as valuable and worthy of taking care of over time. This book is really about building relationships with your plants, about choosing plants for their quality and housing them in a way that does justice to both their needs and their aesthetic. Houseplants are not always treated well; people make jokes about how bad they are at taking care of them, and few people do research on a plant before they buy it. What this book does is encourage its readers to be deliberate about plant purchases. It gives examples of several plants that are both hardy and attractive, and while it does provide useful information about lighting, watering, potential problems, etc., Martin's stories about each plant make this a more valuable read than a houseplant encyclopedia. If you are someone who cares about building a relationship with your plants, about treating them like a living thing, this book is for you. If you want a quick reference guide, go with something else. Or try this book anyway - as I said, I thought I wanted a quick reference book, but "The Indestructible Houseplant" turned out to be what I really needed. It has transformed my entire approach to growing plants indoors. ### ⭐⭐ A Book with a Kinky (= Twisted) Title *by S***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020* I would have loved Martin's way of writing, if this book were a novel. She's really good in describing something ordinary in an exquisite way. I see that aside of growing plants, Martin has the knack for growing words. Well, she has admitted she loves kinky (page 125) and has a constant quest to be kinky (page 250).Let me put it this way. I love coffee, and I love milk, too. Sometimes I drink latte, sometimes just a glass of fresh milk, and sometimes Americano. However, when I dine in a restaurant and put "coffee" on my order for drinks, I would expect to taste more, if not entirely, coffee than milk or anything else. Therefore, when I put "The Indestructible Houseplant: 200 beautiful bla bla bla..." on my order, I expected to be educated about houseplants rather than to be entertained. This book feels more like a compilation of blog posts about the author, her cat, her nephew, and her houseplants.Dracaena. There are lots of Dracaena species which don't all share same behavior. Nevertheless, the author told a lengthy story about her "Lemon Lime" in the whole chapter of Dracaena. In the middle part of the chapter, I thought she was already talking about Dracaena in general. But suddenly in the middle of the paragraph, she wrote "As far as light goes, ‘Lemon Lime’ shows good color at a respectful distance from an east- or west-facing window; there is no need to give it the best seat in the house." I was like: "Oh no. So is this still about Lemon Lime??"As vocabularies and expressions flower over the pages, it would be quite a task, I assume, to count all the plants recommended by the author in this book. About Dracaena, one. About Haworthia, one. About Euphorbia? Not only one, but how many? Some species mentioned are the failed ones. So the ones recommended? Ah. To find out if there are really "200" or not, it would be like trying to draw a story plot from a novel (of many sequels).I'm not saying that I have gotten nothing at all from this book. It's just not as I had expected, not even close. I'm shedding tears over the $9.99 on the Kindle version of this title. Now I have my homework pulling out the information from this kinky (= twisted) story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must book to have before buying house plants .... *by A***I on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2019* ... if you live in a small apartment with north facing windows and very little light but want/need some house plants that will survive. I thought I knew enough about types of plants to buy until I read this book. I took this book with me to the neighborhood plant store (The Sill -- they have lots of varieties) and I picked up plants that are "bullet-proof". So far every plant I bought is doing very well -- not easy when you have low lighting and only 2 small windows and it's winter time in NYC. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/99437822-the-indestructible-houseplant-200-beautiful-plants-that-everyone-can-grow](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/99437822-the-indestructible-houseplant-200-beautiful-plants-that-everyone-can-grow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
