Houseplant Hookups by Agatha Isabel

Taking its cues from the wonderful world of online dating, Houseplant
Hookups explores the pros and cons of cohabitating with different
houseplants. The perfect gift for any plant or gardening enthusiast,
these illustrated dating profiles are as hilarious as they are informative.
Cohabitation is a big step in any relationship, so to make sure you don't get
stuck with a deadleaf, The Dirt digs up all the details on 35 prospective
houseplant partners. By first setting the foundation for a successful
relationship with information on purchasing, propagating, and basic plant care,
it'll be easy to know when you've found the One.
Does your apartment have a scenic view of a brick wall? The Snake Plant
thrives in low light. Tend to forget you're even in a relationship? The Golden
Pothos is anything but codependent and won't hold neglect against you. Far
more helpful than your average Tinder profile, The Dirt will help you decide if a
relationship with a Fiddle Leaf Fig is more likely to be a fling or a forever kind
of love.

matches.
