The House Plant Expert (Expert Series) Review: One of the Best House Plants Books Published - Excellent book. Simple, easy to understand care info and tips. Quickly diagnose plant issues. Identify plants easily with great plant images. Good for beginners and plant experts. Review: A Must Have for House Plan Enthisiasts - I am not sure if this book really is the best-selling book in the world on houseplants, but it is certainly one of the best written and moot inclusive and informative. Dr. Hessayon has sold over 1 million books on houseplants and it is easy to see why. The book is thoughtfully arranged and the section that identifies individual species of plants with pictures, care instructions and other tips. This section contains light and watering requirements for each plant along with other information such as dormancy periods and preferences. Nearly every question one could ask appears on these pages, yet they never seem cluttered or over-bloated. The pages are just the right size for a reference book, although I found myself reading the book like a novel. Perhaps that is the secret to Dr. Hessayon’s success. This book has been published in several editions, and there is a Part 2 that was released that I am eager to get a look at. It is hard to imagine that he left anything out of this book. He thoughtfully devoted several chapters to creating the best media and environment for houseplants, identification and remedies of certain diseases and treatment and prevention of insects. There is also an informative and well-illustrated chapter on how to propagate most plants from seeds, splicing, cuttings and grafting. To summarize, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to learn about or raise hoiuse plants. It stands head and shoulders above others that try to imitate it. In addition to Part Two of The Houseplant Expert, Dr. Hessayon has also authored The New Fruit Expert, The Indoor Plant and Flower Expert, The Vegetable & Herb Expert, The Complete Garden Expert , The Rock and Water Garden Expert, The Garden DIY Expert, The Garden to Kitchen Expert, The Bedside Book of the Garden, The Expert Vegetable Notebook, The Flower Expert, The Indoor Plant and Flower Expert, The Flower Arrangement Expert, The Bulb Expert, The Orchid Expert, The Rose Expert, The Flowering Shrub Expert, The Tree and Shrub Expert, The Green Lawn Expert, and The Bedding Plant Expert as well as The Cat Expert and The Dog Expert. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #65,802 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #32 in House Plant Gardening | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,051) | | Dimensions | 7.25 x 0.69 x 9.38 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0903505355 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0903505352 | | Item Weight | 1.65 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 1993 | | Publisher | Transworld | ## Images ![The House Plant Expert (Expert Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A19liSZ3diL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best House Plants Books Published *by K***R on November 30, 2025* Excellent book.

When I first moved out to California, I took a job at a Nursery where I got a crash course in plants and horticulture. Their bible for plant care back then was the Sunset Western Garden Guide, which I also keep on my bookshelf. I needed a quick refresher course on house plants when some recent species of my house plants became sick and temperamental, so I turned to Dr. D.G. Hessayon's book "The House Plant Expert." I was impressed with the layout, illustrations and concise information included in this book and found it to be very helpful. Many times we know or recognize plants by sight but don't know their botanical name, this book helps. Great book on the basics, like Cliffs Notes for plants, that helps with repotting, spotting sickness and disease, what plants are conducive to what light, shade, etc. This book is loaded with photos and tips that will turn you into an expert. If you don't have time to read a book as detailed as the Sunset Western Guide, then this book is for you. I have owned plants that have lived for long time and continue to grow. I'm a guy with a green thumb (California sun is my secret). Anyway, I can see why this book is so popular and a consistent bestseller. My home is not a castle, it's a jungle and I get lost in it. ## Frequently Bought Together - The House Plant Expert: The world's best-selling book on house plants (Expert Series) - How Not to Kill Your Houseplant: Survival Tips for the Horticulturally Challenged --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/89235283-the-house-plant-expert-expert-series](https://www.desertcart.it/products/89235283-the-house-plant-expert-expert-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
