What's Wrong With My Plant? (And How Do I Fix It?) by David Deardorff

Dealing with a sick plant is one of the most frustrating situations a gardener or houseplant owner can face. More often than not, the plant's owner has no idea what is causing the problem, or how to fix it. Fortunately, help is at hand. This innovative, easy-to-use book enables you to recognize what's plaguing your plant and then implement an appropriate cure--without resorting to toxic chemicals.

Part 1 presents easily understood, illustrated flow charts--organized by the plant part on which the symptoms appear--that enable you to accurately diagnose what is ailing your plant. Part 2 tells you how to fix the problem; whatever the cause--growing conditions, pests, or disease--you'll find a safe, organic solution. Part 3 is a photo gallery of common problems; compare your plant to a photograph in order to verify the malady you're dealing with.

Whether your garden consists of herbs on a sunny windowsill, a vegetable plot, an elaborate mixed border, or a container on a patio, What's Wrong With My Plant? will be an indispensable resource. You don't even need to know the plant's name. If you can see it, you can fix it. Curing a sick plant just doesn't get any easier.
