Most plants die of kindness
Too much water, too much fertiliser, a pot that is too big, a spot that is too dark. This handbook is built so you can look up a plant in thirty seconds and know the five things that actually matter — and the one mistake that kills it most often. Written for warm, sunny climates (the Mediterranean, the southern US, Australia, the Middle East) with notes for cold winters. Balconies count.
Part I · The six habits
Water by weight, light is food, pots and drainage, feeding without burning, the three pruning cuts, pests in order of likelihood.

Every plant, the same four-line key
Light · Water (how to test, and how often in summer and in winter) · Feed · Prune / repot — then a short note and what kills it. The back pages hold a month-by-month calendar and a problem-solver table (yellow leaves, wilting, white powder, sticky leaves, holes overnight).
Who this is for
Beginners with a balcony, renters with a windowsill, and anyone who has killed a basil plant and would like to stop. No jargon, no Latin unless it helps, nothing you need to buy except a pot with a hole in it.
