The New Plant Parent

Darryl Cheng is the OG plant parent and green thumbed guru. As far as I'm concerned this is the must have botanical Bible for sprouting enthusiasts. He's also my originating source for so much more insight into the online plant community - which duh, happens to be a wonderfully diverse and all around uplifting safe space. I mean it's not like plant influencers are out here throwing shade (*wink) at each other and Darryl does the work of spotlighting other plant creators and resources.

In his book Darryl covers the basics. Deciphering notions of low light plants (this book might even convince me to buy a light meter!) what watering looks like, and getting your indoor oasis set up. But then he dives deep into plant propagation and the care and maintenance of specific plant types. A beautifully done reference - but do yourself a favour and check him out online as well and discover a massive world of indoor gardening knowledge.
