David Domoney’s new book ‘My Houseplant Changed My Life’, published by DK, stormed to the top of the charts on Amazon as a pre-order, before its release date on February 4.
On Sunday January 31, David’s new book was number 1 in all gardening book sales, number 1 in ‘Home’ sales, and number 11 in the ‘Health’ section. It also took the top spot in ‘Hot New Releases’ as well as ‘Movers & Shakers’, reaching an incredible ranking of 14 on all book sales listings on Amazon.
Social media was buzzing about the title, and it has gained much traction visible on online platforms. Through Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, news of the book has reached over 3 million people, with popularity continuing to rise. ‘My Houseplant Changed My Life’ is to be launched in America, and translated for Europe, and many other countries around the world.
The title documents how growing indoor plants is good for your mental and physical wellbeing. It also showcases 50 of the leading houseplants and identifies their individual features that benefit the owners in their own special way.
Throughout, there are also breakouts which focus on the plants that can help to change your mood; plants to cheer you up, relax you, energise you, and spark creativity.
Author David Domoney has worked with houseplants over the last 40 years. He said: “I have a strong belief that keeping plants indoors will help the owners in so many ways. I am dedicated to spreading that word to inspire more of the population to visit their garden centres to add more plants to enjoy at home and grow indoors. I hope this book will give them encouragement and motivation to take up the hugely rewarding hobby."
It was announced last week that David is showcasing every plant mentioned in the book at the forthcoming Chelsea Flower Show. The exhibit, sponsored by Miracle Gro, will be a major feature in the main Pavilion in the Discovery Zone.
