Grades 4-7 This concise and detailed guide provides young readers with everything they might want to know about houseplants. The first part explains plant anatomy, plant tools and containers, and plant care, even including a list of pet-safe plants. The next introduces a variety of indoor houseplants found in tropical, temperate, and dry climates, as well as types of epiphytic plants. The third part describes how to grow vegetables indoors and explains the basics of hydroponics. Finally, it concludes with a thorough glossary of plant terminology. Williams emphasizes the importance of responsible plant ownership and includes entertaining quizzes and DIY activities throughout, such as how to pollinate a citrus tree and sprout microgreens, among other projects. This is not only informative but also very entertaining. Carlos' illustrations accompany the fun plant facts, such as trick words to remember when growing plants together: thriller (eye-catching plant), spiller (plant that hangs over the edge of a container), and filler (fills in empty spaces). Invaluable for young plant lovers or those with an interest in the ecological benefits of plants.COPYRIGHT(2024) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
