"The cure (for a purple thumb) is to get accounted with your plants. Treat them as individuals and not just as pots of dirt...recognise that plants have personal needs, they are subject to disease, fight, mischief and loneliness...plants thrive on attention, on love." - Maggie Baylis

A charming and highly informative guide for novice house plant enthusiasts packed full of wisdom from the 1970s which is still as pertinent today.
