I love it, and her!"" --Roos Kocken from @plantwithroos ""I'm ready to get down and dirty with my scissors and propagate like a pro! I could hardly contain my urge to get chop-happy several times while I read The Ultimate Guide to Houseplant Propagation. I knew a thing or two before, but with the help of Lindsay's guide, I now feel like an expert. The simple layering technique is so brilliant! My Hoya collection is about to triple in size. Lindsay's book is overflowing with unbeleafable techniques, all delivered with a double dollop of humor and wit. I LOLed many times--it's both informative AND fun. It's a must-read for any plant lover looking to grow their green family while having a blooming good time."" --Kamili Bell Hill author of Happy Plants, Happy You and creator of @PlantBlerd ""Lindsay's new book is perfect for anyone looking to expand their plant collection the old fashioned way!
