Product Description
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 system for visually 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 where on the plant the symptoms appear—that allow readers to accurately diagnose the problem. 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 its 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% organic way to fix the problem. From improper growing conditions and environmental factors, to molds, pests, and diseases, 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.

 What's Wrong.... July 19, 2010
Jerilynn Jenderseck (CA USA)
Nothing...this book is very well written. It's a great book for identifying problems with plants. This book has great pictures and keys that guide you step-by-step through the process of identification. You can identify: what's eating my plant, what disease may be affecting my plant, why are my flowers failing, why are my leaves turning yellow, what's wrong with my vegetables, and much more. And best of all, the book also provides organic remedies. This is a must-have book in any serious gardeners library collection.

As a Master Gardener, I am often asked to identify "plant problems". What's Wrong With My Plant? (And How Do I fix It) has saved alot of time in identifying the problem. The text is simple to use and easy for the questioner to show me the problem without getting into complicated pathology books.
 THE BOOK IS OVERPRICED!! June 1, 2010

I've been trying to find a better way to let Amazon know that this book is priced incorrectly. There must be a type because it is currently listed at $2,499 new. Twenty-five HUNDRED dollars for this book? I don't think do. Hope it gets fixed soon.
Great problem solver for gardeners! May 10, 2010

This is an excellent book when you are trying to decide what type of leaf damage you have on your plants so you can find the correct remedy. I have a number of similar books but this is by far my favorite.

I appreciate this book for the way it is organized. It refers the reader to a chain of possible problems and solutions for each symptom. I was not able to find a picture of a particular pest that has infected many of my plants, and am still not sure what it is; however, for most everything else, this book has been able to identify the issues my plants have had.
