I love a challenge

Here's a no-nonsense title: 37 Houseplants Even You Can't Kill. Mary Kate Hogan's guide to indestructible houseplants is a great resource for any plant owner. Even if you have a vibrant green thumb, you may be faced with a less-than-vibrant setting for your plant: a tiny cubicle, a windowless bathroom, a drafty entryway. Here are your best chances for injecting a little green into your life. She starts the book off with a few basics of plant care - fertilizing, propagation, pest control, display ideas and watering. (She advocates using a humidifier to maintain a 50% humidity level - I would love to get my house down to 50% humidity). Most of the plants she suggests are foliage plants, but with a variety of shapes, colors and textures you could still get a very stunning display. There are even a few flowering plants on her list that you could throw in for a bright splash of color. Each plant is given a nice color photo, a brief sell of where it works best, and the basic care needed for the plant (light, water, temperature, drafts). She even includes "Grow-Like-A-Pro tips" that will help you keep it looking its best. Fake plants are easy to take care of (you still have to dust them, tho), but they will always look fake. With Hogan's guide you can make the commitment to living, oxygen-producing plants for any room in your house or office. Although to be honest, as much as I love the title, I counted no fewer than 4 plants in her book that I have managed to kill. It's a gift, really.
