It is rumoured that this book has, at times, been the world’s best-selling non-fiction book after The Bible—quite a claim. Indisputable is that this book and its many reprints and updates remain for several generations, the one essential read for houseplant help. It was written by a scientist who worked for one of the world’s leading houseplant liquid feed after a radio appearance led to the company receiving thousands of letters asking for houseplant advice. Hessayon’s simple formula of basic photographs and short text has been much copied but never bettered.

From Catherine's list on keeping your houseplants alive.
