\"\"Jen Stearns is the owner of Urban Sprouts, a houseplant specialty nursery in Renton, WA.\u00a0 Her new book, \u201cThe Inspired House Plant,\u201d aims to make your indoor space more festive by promoting a great diversity of indoor plants and teaching you to be a good plant parent.\u00a0 The emphasis is on foliage – so no African violets or orchids, but that doesn\u2019t mean the selections are dull.<\/p>\n

Successful display is critical for enjoyment and various options are considered, including bowls, terrariums, and plants in containers of water – fish are optional.\u00a0 Vertical and hanging plants are encouraged and one chapter is devoted to using your plants to enhance your overall interior style.\u00a0 Of course, there is some promotion of the author\u2019s business, but the cultural advice is sound and this nicely designed book will encourage your creativity.<\/p>\n
