HOW TO CHOOSE AND CARE FOR CACTI & SUCCULENTS

The definitive gardening reference to identification and cultivation, with a directory of 400 varieties and 700 practical photographs

Miles Anderson, consultant Terry Hewitt

Spiky, smooth, round, long or thin, cacti and succulents come in all shapes and sizes. This book will help you to know, enjoy and care for these striking decorative plants.

The introduction explains the botany and classification of cacti and succulents, and an inspirational design section includes ideas for display in the home, from growing them in grand outdoor jardinières to pretty painted pots on a kitchen windowsill.

Following this is a photographic directory of over 400 varieties of cacti and succulents, alphabetically organized by genus, and with at-a-glance information on growing habit, spread, size, flowering and the most suitable habitat for each variety.

The book concludes with a section on care and cultivation providing step-by-step guidance on all aspects of buying, planting and maintaining cacti and succulents.
