Houseplants and Their F*cked-Up Thoughts - by Carlyle Christoff & Elisabeth Saake (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Discover the cheeky musings of your houseplants in this quirky little gift book--a delightful treat for plant enthusiasts who've ever felt those leafy side-eyes from their green companions.

Have you ever wondered if your houseplants are silently judging you?

Maybe you think you and your leafy companions are happily cohabitating. Maybe you bought them on a whim and forgot to water them for a week. Or maybe... things are a little more twisted.

Houseplants and Their Fucked-Up Thoughts is a laugh-out-loud, illustrated gift book that imagines what your favorite ferns, succulents, and tropicals are really thinking--and it's not pretty. Maybe your fiddle-leaf fig finds you pathetic. Your majesty palm is deeply disdainful. And is it possible your philodendron has been eyeing your man?

Packed with witty one-liners and hilariously relatable plant humor, this funny houseplant book is perfect for anyone who talks to their plants--and suspects they're talking back. With sharp captions and vibrant plant portraits, it's the ultimate present for the plant parent, plant killer, or green-thumbed goddess in your life.

Just because your plants can't speak doesn't mean they don't have a lot to say. Open this book... if you dare.
