About the Author
T.J. Marlowe
T.J. Marlowe writes humor with heart, exploring the often hilarious relationship between humans and the houseplants they care for.
A lifelong plant enthusiast and observer of everyday human behavior, Marlowe approaches the subject with warmth, wit, and a deep appreciation for the dramatic tendencies of indoor foliage.
With a home full of thriving plants, struggling plants, and a few plants currently “working through things,” Marlowe understands that caring for plants is equal parts science, patience, and emotional negotiation.
About the Book
Dr. Philodendron’s Diagnostic Manual invites readers inside the Flora Wellness & Root Balance Center, where houseplants attend therapy sessions to discuss anxiety, perfectionism, gossip, parenting overload, and humidity-related crises.
Part satire and part plant care guide, the book explores the emotional lives of houseplants—and the humans who care for them.
