What plants to choose, where to place them, and how to care for them? A complete guide to 155 types of houseplants.

For modern people exhausted by their busy daily lives, green plants are precious creatures that refresh and soothe the mind just by looking at them. However, this book shows that they can also be excellent materials for interior decoration through a guide to indoor plants that can further highlight their presence.
You can change the atmosphere of your home by decorating it with plants that match various parts of the room and creating harmony between the space and the plants.
This book introduces 155 species of ornamental plants that are widely loved by people for their unique and distinctive leaf shapes.
In particular, varieties with colorful flowers such as white, pink, and red brighten up the indoor atmosphere, and you can also enjoy the vivid color contrast with the green leaves.
The growing catalog in this book provides a complete picture of each plant, from stem to leaf tip, which is a great help in selecting plants.


Since the placement of foliage plants varies depending on the amount of sunlight they require, you should select plants after figuring out where, when, and how much sunlight will reach your home.
For example, plants that like strong sunlight, such as crotons or durantas, should be placed near a window where they can receive more sunlight, while plants that are sensitive to direct sunlight, such as begonias or schidonias, should be placed in partial shade to avoid direct sunlight and grow healthily.
Additionally, this book provides advice on where to decorate with plants and how to arrange them to match the interior design through a corner called “Decoration Points.”


We introduce how to grow sturdy houseplants without fail, even for beginners.

Once you've chosen your desired plant, all that remains is to grow it strong and disease-free.
It provides practical information that will allow you to confidently deal with various situations that you always have to consider while growing plants, such as placement, sunlight control, soil preparation, watering, fertilizing, pest control, wintering and summering, division, propagation, and tool use.


Above all, you need to pay attention to sunlight management and watering cycle.
Even if you place the plant in an appropriate location according to the amount of sunlight it needs, you need to shade it to prevent leaf burn from strong sunlight depending on the time of day and the seasonal changes throughout the year, or you need to expose it to direct sunlight while adjusting the intensity of sunlight to ensure smooth photosynthesis.
Watering is also very important.
The biggest reason beginners fail at growing plants is watering.
Basically, when the soil in the pot dries out, water it thoroughly until water flows out of the holes in the bottom.
However, if the soil in the flowerpot is always kept moist, the root hairs will not develop, the plant will not grow well, or in severe cases, the roots will rot.
You need to determine whether the plant you are growing likes a dry or humid environment and water it regularly to grow it into a sturdy plant with beautiful colored leaves.
