House Plus Plant Equals Home is an accessible, science-based guide to transforming any living space into a thriving botanical haven of calm and happiness. Written by Samantha Hermann, a popular plant expert, teacher and horticulture designer, this book covers all the basics of houseplant care and more. It reassures readers that plant parenting is both fun and easy (green thumb or not), while also delving into the many benefits of keeping houseplants and the impact they can have on our homes and lives.

The guide offers invaluable advice on everything from choosing the perfect plants for your unique space and needs, to watering, feeding, and lighting, to maintaining optimal growing conditions. It even explains how to spot the danger signs in unhealthy plants and the effective techniques on how to rescue them. Each chapter ends with a Q&A featuring common real-life questions Samantha's clients and followers have posed to her, continuing the conversational tone of the book while supplying specific information people are actively seeking.

Also included are a number of easy DIY projects for keeping plants happy; from building terrariums to making plant stands, towers, and self-watering containers, each with a QR code directing readers to Samantha's video tutorials to further illustrate the project for readers.

Samantha's friendly tone, personal stories, and beautiful yet instructional photographs fill House Plus Plant Equals Home with the same generous spirit and sense of joy that has made @houseplusplant, her social media platform, a popular source of guidance, advice, and plant inspiration for hundreds of thousands of novice and seasoned indoor gardeners.

About the Author

Samantha Hermann, popular social media influencer and founder of House Plus Plant, attributes science as the key to her green success. That along with extensive trial and error caring for 200+ houseplants over the last decade has not only allowed Samantha to offer sound practical advice on the best way to raise house plants but also to help people embrace the creativity, nurturing and joy one gets out of doing so. Samantha's work has been featured locally (tv and print) and nationally in such publications as the New York Times, Good Housekeeping, Parade and more; she's appeared on numerous podcasts and regularly teaches beginner classes (online and off) in houseplant basics.
