An ancient tradition that dates back to the Pharaohs, our love of keeping houseplants is a cherished practice. In-depth exploration of the tales behind the plants we bring into our homes, House Plants delves into their transformation from wild creatures to cherished household members.
A thriving global industry worth billions of dollars, houseplants offer a profound connection with nature, contributing to our health, happiness, and overall well-being. They also serve as vital components of the home biome, fostering their own miniature ecosystems.
Featuring a wealth of stunning illustrations, House Plants explores the botanical heritage and cultural significance of these green companions, encompassing a diverse range of influences such as music, literature, cinema, fashion, technology, contemporary design, and painting.

Moreover, their aesthetic appeal and versatility have made them a staple in modern homes, adding a touch of nature and greenery to living spaces.
