        Labels can be deceiving. What's easy to cultivate for one might signal instant death for others. London-based Jade Murray capitalizes on the green-indoors craze by developing a novice's guide to choosing house plants--and keeping them alive. Four of her six categories are to be expected, along with their entrants: coleus is easy, while philodendron is pegged as air purifying, spiders as humidity-loving, and cacti and succulents as heat tolerant. Tips are provided for quick care, with explanations on how to propagate, position, water, mix soil, feed, offer proper humidity, and treat pests. At least one plant in each section is singled out with step-by-step photographs showing how to propagate in water, soil, or moss (for begonias). Two chapters go beyond the normal recommendations: plants to help with pests, such as the Venus flytrap, and divas, like elephant ears and maidenhair ferns. Appendixes cover plant photography for social media and care during winter.
