Publisher Description
For indoor gardeners everywhere, Darryl Cheng offers a new way to grow healthy house plants. He teaches the art of understanding a plant’s needs and giving it a home with the right balance of light, water, and nutrients. After reading Cheng, the indoor gardener will be far less the passive follower of rules for the care of each species and much more the confident, active grower, relying on observation and insight. And in the process, the plant owner becomes a plant lover, bonded to these beautiful living things by a simple love and appreciation of nature. The New Plant Parent covers all of the basics of growing house plants, from finding the right light, to everyday care like watering and fertilizing, to containers, to recommended species. Cheng’s friendly tone, personal stories, and accessible photographs fill his book with the same generous spirit that has made @houseplantjournal, his Instagram account, a popular source of advice and inspiration for thousands of indoor gardeners.

The New Beginning
I really liked this book as it really gave me a whole new way to look at my garden. Plus, the tips are extremely helpful. My house plants are already doing much better.
This book was PERFECTLY written, thank you!
I purchased three books this week about plants, and The New Plant Parent by Darryl Chang is by far the best one I’m reading. I’m on page 80 and had to pause a moment to write this review. Today I learned how much light plants needs and how to gauge it. I temporarily moved my plants closer to the windows so that they can get the right amount of exposure during the day. I had no idea that my plants would have continued to starve where they usually are placed.
Darryl, thank you 🙏 for writing this book 📚 and selling it for a great price. I can't wait to get back to reading. 🌞🌱🌸
