Useful Information

Plant Bio

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 House Plant Journal Handbook 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.

REVIEWS

"‘The New Plant Parent’ is THE MOST realistic plant- care-guide-book on the market.

Author Darryl Cheng incorporates relatable, concise metaphors, and examples, that give aspiring plant parents all the tools necessary to approach caring for their plants with realistic goals and expectations."

"This is a FANTASTIC book for anyone who wants to learn the basics of taking care of plants, and it has enough depth that I think it’d be of value to folks who are seasoned plant parents too.

I have been overwhelmed for years with plant care and so always avoided it, but after reading this book for just a few minutes I immediately felt empowered to get started."

'Most informative plant book out there!!!'

"THIS BOOK is by far the most informative plant book I have ever read. Not only are there many great tips, but a lot of basic knowledge on understanding how plants work for them to thrive.

Things that many plant people may not know. PLUS general care for many different plants. Seriously buy this book. It’s worth it."

We will send you a plant as close to the picture and description as possible. The picture shown is an example of what's in stock unless stated otherwise.

Our plants are sent with a detailed care guide to help you look after them. You must provide the adequate conditions to keep them alive.

Shipping & Delivery

We can only ship within the UK. Orders from abroad cannot be fulfilled and will be cancelled & refunded.

We pack and ship all orders on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays to prevent plants waiting in transit over the weekend.

Returns

We guarantee our plants 14 day from receipt. We guarantee to send happy and healthy plants, however, it is your responsibility to care for them and we cannot be held responsible for neglect or mis care. Please send us a picture within 24 hours of receiving your plant and we'll help you out with your issue.

If returning your order, please keep all original packaging and use this to send the plant back to us. This will ensure the plant is kept as safe as possible on its return.

To allow the plant to acclimatise in its new home, there should be no repotting of the plant for a minimum of 14 days after receipt. If any plant has been repotted or a cutting has been taken then we are not able to accept returns.

We are happy to replace your plant if it is very badly damaged in transport. The loss of a leaf in transport on a healthy plant should not generally be cause for any concern. We cannot give a refund for snapped leaves.
