Plants Need Therapy.
And Sometimes Their Owners Do Too
A humorous new book about the emotional lives of houseplants.
Dr. Philodendron’s Diagnostic Manual: A Psychological Field Guide to Your Houseplant’s Personality Disorders
Have you ever apologized to a plant? Do your houseplants collapse dramatically the moment you forget to water them? Does your orchid refuse to bloom under anything less than perfect conditions? Does your cactus seem emotionally unavailable while quietly judging everyone in the room? You are not imagining things.
Inside this book, houseplants attend therapy to discuss anxiety, perfectionism, gossip, humidity panic, and their complicated relationships with their owners.
