Also, you mention distilled water in the later part but nothing the first time you talk about water. My local grocery doesn't sell reverse osmosis but they do sell distilled. Another place for purchasing reverse osmosis water is aqarium stores.

Well done! I know I couldn't have done anything like this at your age.

Thank you! I will get to the water part quickly!

No, but my mom has told me about that, I'll check it out!

I to think it’s a good draft.

Very nice, you're very industrious. I think its great the amount of effort that went into this. A couple things that I noticed were the emphasis on using LFS as a potting medium and how you use it with your services/plants but your standard repots are peat based. Rewording it will make it sound less contradictory. Another thing to take into account are types/species of plants. Not all plants will enjoy the full sun experience. If it's local only and you're working solely with VFTs and Sarracenia, that would be true but not all Drosera are going to like full sun in California. Perhaps focusing on certain types would be good or putting care tips with particular plants down in the sections you have. I think it's great though because it also encourages you to look up information on how you can better grow CPs.

Alrighty, I completely redid the original design and settled for this, this is still a rough draft (very rough) so feedback is appreciated! I am removing things about my business although I might add some stuff later. Hopefully, I can get some more pictures during the growing season. Thanks for looking!

Oh, I realized I didn't edit page 19, VFT propagation.

Very neat! It would be perfect for begginers.

I would check the file format that you are using for your images. Make sure it is not lossy. Just a suggestion, as some images may come out blurry. Other than that, the book is great!

Wow! That looks great! I noticed in your first draft, a lot of your sentences ended with 'it', 'is' and some prepositions . You really shouldn't do that as it is informal and it sounds unprofessional. It's fine to use in a quick message to a friend or in a text, but in a book that very well may be published, you should avoid doing that. I'm not sure if that changed in your second draft (I unfortunately don't have time to read it), but if you still have sentences like that, make sure to change them. Other than that, it's looking great so far!

Ain't no way you're 12🥲

Hmmm, I dont think you know what 12 year olds have for writting in school.

Mitosis meiosis? Globalization? Quadratic equations? Algebra? pythagorean theorem?

Talking about writting here.
