Synopsis

Dealing with a sick plant is one of the most frustrating situations a gardener can face. More often than not, we have no idea what is causing the problem, or how to fix it. Fortunately, help is at hand. "What's Wrong With My Plant? (And How Do I Fix It?)" provides an easy visual system for diagnosing any problem - and matching it to the right cure. This innovative and easy-to-use guide is split into three parts. Part one presents easy-to-follow, illustrated flow charts - organized by the plant part on which the symptoms appear - that allow readers to accurately diagnose the plant. The format is so simple it doesn't even require knowing the name of the plant; all you need to know is whether the problem is affecting the plant's roots, stem, flowers, or leaves. It does not matter whether the plant is a houseplant, perennial, vegetable, tree, or shrub. Part two offers a 100 percent organic way to fix the problem. Whether it's caused by improper growing conditions or environmental factors, or whether the culprit is a pest or disease, every problem has a safe, natural solution. Part three shows photographs and drawings of stressed, damaged, and diseased plants that help with accurate comparison. Whether your garden consists of herbs on a kitchen windowsill, a vegetable garden, an elaborate backyard border, or a container on a patio, "What's Wrong With My Plant?" is an indispensable resource. If you can see it, you can fix it. Curing a sick plant just doesn't get any easier.
