As far as house plant care goes, this book is fairly basic, but as a guide to identifying house plants, this book is excellent!
A combination of photos & well-done illustrations creates a pretty comprehensive picture of what is out in the marketplace - or inside your home. The Ivy section shows 19 varieties; the Philo section 15. Cacti are particularly well represented & many of the subtle differences between them are detailed. With 250 pages, there are a lot of plants described in this book, making it a valuable resource for devoted amateurs, serious hobbiests, even folks in the plant business.
Again, not a lot of great detail about cultural requirements for your house plants, but this book will sure as heck help you figure out what you have!
