Houseplant Book Review — Vlog 016
There have been a number of houseplant books that have hit the market this year, so I wanted to highlight a few of my friends books to give you a sense as to what they cover! Have you read any of these books? Tell me what you think of them in the comments below.
My book, “How to Make a Plant Love You: Cultivate Green Space in Your Home & Heart” launches in the U.S., Canada and the UK starting July 9th and in other countries following that date. If you pre-order before that date, you’ll be eligible for my 50 Care Houseplant Spreadsheet and a preview of Botany at Bedtime at the Huntington Botanic Gardens. Just email your receipt of purchase to howtomakeaplantloveyou@gmail.com. Those who order the physical book will be in for a special treat as well! (More to be revealed soon).

Okay i’ gettin’ excited here Summer!.. 🥳🥳. P.S. Do u ship to Indonesia? 😱😱😘
i love that she is promoting her competition’s books and talks good things about them on her channel. It really shows that the houseplant community is really full of love and support. What a humble girl ! 🙂
Cute 📚 have to buy for 🎁 thanx summer🙊🙉🙈
I like this inclusion of books. Some channels tend to stay in one format but it’s good to branch out to other topics yet still related to the overall theme of the content.
Thanks for sharing!
what a coincidence with the titles lol. I guess we can all agree that we want our plants to love us back 😅
Lmao I just bought the New Plant Parent last week
I pre-ordered your book last month via Amazon. So looking forward to reading it! Best wishes always.
I already bought your book on Amazon, cant wait till it arrives.
Awesome Summer 🙂 What I want to know is what Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell books those were 😀 p.s. Congrats on your new book! This is making me want to buy it 😀
Could not find the recommended books section on your website
Hi Summer ! Can i get the book ship to Malaysia? Thank you !
J ai acheté ces livres il sont super!! Im sorry for my english ☺🌱
Very nice
Hello, Summer! Thank you for this video. Do you know any cool and complete book about tropical plants? I’m Brazilian and it’s very sad that we do not have many gardening books in Brazil. I learn a lot with you. I’ll buy your book on the right now 🙂 Tell us how the book will be? Thanks, kisses 💚
I cannot wait for your book on Jul 9th!!! 😍😍😍😍 congratulations Summer!
How to raise a plant and make it love you back is also pretty great
I have Daryl’s book and i love it. I learned a lot from it. Super excited to read yours!
I LOVE Hilton Carter’s book!
He was just in Atlanta for a talk/book signing-such a great person.
Will you be doing a book tour? If so, please come to Atlanta!
everything is on Internet now, no need to buy a book
Looking forward to the launch! One of my favourite plant books is called ‘Plant Hunters’ by Carolyn Fry and it details the expeditions and tales of discovering new plant species around the world, especially some of the more historical tales. I also really like ‘The Bee Friendly Garden’ by Doug Purdie and ‘The Language of Flowers’ by Mandy Kirkby, which is a stunning book that discusses the different symbolic and cultural meanings of flowers.

I’ve just pre-ordered your book!!!!
I been into house plants about a year and a half. I belong to houseplant groups on FB and follow some plant pages on Instagram. I just started discovering the You Tube world of plants and its very interesting. I found this 1970s vintage house plant book I grabbed at a thift shop but I think my next step is getting some books to expand my knowledge. Thank you! I will def check your book and the rest out.
Since December 13th 2018 the excitement & overtakes me every time I log into Amazon account and see "Arriving July 9" getting closer every day! 🌱📖😁👍
Can I get a link to purchace these books.
Looking forward to getting your book in my hands…come on July 🌿❤️📚🤗
Summer, nice dress with a lot of tropical vibes!! <3 🙂
The Plant Propagator’s Bible and The Vegetable Gardener’s Guide to Permaculture: Creating an Edible Ecosystem
I have Wild At Home. Really like that book. So looking forward to when yours is out! I wonder, how do you keep up with cleaning that many plants, especially the trees?
Oh and Summer I love your channel. It is the best by far on house plants that I’ve come across! You’re not just in it to look cool, you really know your stuff and I appreciate what you share! So much fascinating information 😊
You should do another book recommendation video. I loved how u explained them. Even compared them a little. And flipped through them. I vote to do at least one video like this a year.
You should review plant music like Plantasia by Mort Garson. (Idk any other ones, but would be cool to find out)
I can’t wait to get your books and all the book you have shown looks very interesting! One book that I love (and the title crack me up!) is : "How not to kill your houseplant" very well illustrated how to guide for each plant 🙂
I have The New Plant Parent. It finally gave me an explanation of lighting that I desperately needed.
ماشاءالله ، شُكـراً ع هالفيديو الأكثر من رائع💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚.
Already preordered!!! Excited!
I have searched for months to find an in depth house plant book. The one I found is ‘What’s Wrong with my House Plant’. I brought it on Amazon. It has sections on propagation techniques, pests and diseases. It covers 130 plant profiles covering – optimum temperature, humidity, how to propagate it, how much light it needs, fertilizing and potting medium. I think every house plant geek needs this book! https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Wrong-My-Houseplant-Solutions/dp/1604695900
I’m from the Netherlands and I orderd your book (and ‘The new plant parent’.)😀 I can’t wait to get them and read them! I find it very cool that you already preduce your book in Dutch. Great! I orderd them both; the Dutch version and original Englisch version.😉😃👍
I love your movies; your knowledge, educational themes and passion for plants. And that you share it with the world. Thank you!😃🌱
You should link your Amazon marketplace when you mention it. I have no idea how to get there. I’m going to go try to find out
Wow! A great amount of good plant books, I have been so busy following all of my plant YouTubers that I haven’t bought any books, but I do know that I would like to get Summer’s book and Aaron and Morgan’s book, and eventually the other two. Thank you for this video these are wonderful books.
Can’t wait to get my copy of your book!! I haven’t picked up any of these yet, I want Hilton’s next!
Houseplants sure have come a long way from my grandma’s windowsill geranium !
Hi Summer! It’s so nice of you to give a shout out to other authors and their books hat you recommend. Thank you for sharing!
Plantopedia is a great book for all kinds of plants. Other then that i love specific boos for cacti and succulents, healing plants, orchids or tillandsias. I really love books but now that i can combine plants and books i have 20 diffrent books. Sadly i couldnt find good books about sansevierias/dracenas, peperomias, hoyas, ferns or Rhipsalis. If somebody knows books for those species please hit me up. They can be german, russian or englisch.
It would be awesome to have a direct link to your Amazon Marketplace in the info box for this video.
Hi summer! Could you possibly do a video on artificial lights for houseplant growth? i believe other people would love it too especially those looking for artificial lights for their plant babies but are unfamiliar with them like me haha
