There are a number of easy-care houseplants that don't require any princess-on-the-pea treatment.
Plants that can be forgotten in periods such as sea chestnut and opuntia, plants that can withstand anything such as monstera, or plants that after a watering become resilient and happy again such as palette leaves and summer ivy. In this book, there are care tips for around 40 popular houseplants gathered together with smart tips, a guide on how to take cuttings and inspiration from plant-decorated homes - all so that you can create your own indoor jungle. Plants not only clean the air and give life to a room - according to several studies, they also make us feel better mentally. Surrounding yourself with nature and vegetation creates a calm that can be needed in our stressful society. There is something therapeutic about dipping your fingers into moist soil, showering your plants and watching them develop new leaves. In addition, there is a fantastic community among plant lovers - which you can also become a part of.
Agnes Stuber is the founder of the Facebook group Växtgäris, which has grown to 19,000 members in two years. In addition to her interest in plants, Agnes is a photographer. For the book, she has chosen to photograph analog with a medium format camera to bring out the closeness and get away from the digital and artificial. Just like with plants, analog photography is a process that requires presence, patience and time.
Here it's about easy-care potted plants, good beginner tips to get started with decorating green in your own way and solid advice and tips when the plants wither or get pests. About 40 popular houseplants are described according to the same structure: name and introduction, plant facts, care, cuttings and curiosities.
