"It gives me leaves, and not one flower."
"The buds all dropped before they opened."
"Every video says something different. I'm so confused."
"It was my mother's plant. I can't lose it."
There's no shortage of tips. That's the trouble. Coffee or no coffee. Ice cubes or no ice cubes. One video says water once a week, the next says once a month.
This book gives you one plain answer for each plant: what to do, how much, how often and in which months. All written down, so you never have to pause a video to take notes again.

Look inside
Big print. Plain words. Real numbers.
The text pages are large, easy-to-read type with dark letters on white, so they print clearly on any home printer, even in black and white. Tap a page to see it full size.
The same plan for every plant
Find your plant. Follow the steps.
Each plant chapter is laid out the same way, so once you've used one, you know them all.
Is this your plant?
How to tell a Thanksgiving cactus from a Christmas cactus, and the names they hide under at the store.
Why it stopped blooming
The real reason, in plain words. Usually it's the dark, the cool nights or the light, not the food.
Make it bloom again
Numbered steps with exact amounts, hours, temperatures and the date to start.
Month by month
Twelve short lines. What to do in each month of the year.
When something goes wrong
What you see, why it happens and what to do: dropped buds, yellow leaves, limp leaves, gnats.
Keep it for years
Repotting an old family plant safely, and taking cuttings so it lives on.
Straight answers
Coffee? Banana peels? Ice cubes?
The book gives every popular kitchen trick a plain verdict, plant by plant: Yes, a nice extra, or skip it. A few examples:
| Trick | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Weak brewed coffee, for anthurium | A nice extra | Gentle and weekly. The bright window makes the flowers. |
| A banana peel buried in the pot or laid on top | Skip it | Unproven as plant food, and a rotting peel brings fruit flies and gnats. Compost it. |
| Rice water | A nice extra | Gentle but unproven. Strain it and pour out the leftovers, because it sours and draws gnats. |
| Epsom salt | Skip it | No evidence it makes flowers. Unless a plant is truly short of magnesium, it's only more salt in the pot. |

A note from Rosie
Why I wrote it all down
Every week someone tells me the same thing. They watched a video, then another one, and now they have six answers to one question. They pause the video and write the numbers on the back of an envelope. Then they lose the envelope.
So here it is, written down once and for all. For each plant: what to do, how much, how often and in which months. The dark for the cactus, the cool nights for the orchid, the rest for the amaryllis. And straight answers about the kitchen tricks, so you know which ones are worth your time.
Most of these plants will bloom again the very next season once the right switch is turned on. Some need a little patience. None of them need luck.

Your statement will show a charge from Gumroad. Some banks also show a small temporary hold of $0 or $1 when a card is checked. That is not a charge and it goes away by itself.
