Cacti and Succulents: An illustrated guide to the plants and their cultivation Kindle Edition

I loved the beautiful pictures of the cacti and the succulents. A lot of great information on the background of these plants, where they come from, how to identify them and how to care for them. A lot of research went into this book and I would recommend it to anyone that loves cacti and succulents .

love this book. its just as the reviewer said that said You cant judge a book by its cover. This one has both good pics and cover. and he is right by saying so. It does have excellent info in in it. propagation and several varieties or cultivars of each plant. Very nice. I just bought some succulents and it looks like they are in there even tho Home Depot didnt label them. I just graduated as a horticulture major and I want to learn more about these plants. Great book!! Also I just got two other books with the exact same info in them. I was looking like these pics look the same and they were. This is much better.

The book arrived in very good condition, exactly as described in the listing.

This is a very helpful book. For those of you who like to be creative there are many areas dealing with the novel ways to use succulent plants for various projects ....even wedding bouquets.

Like: Lots of useful information.Dislike: most pics are of flowers and you can barely see the whole plant. I was curious to learn the names of succulents I have, but the lack of matching pics made this very hard.

It really was up to my expectations. I've recently developed a passion for cactus.They are great companions, give wonderful flowers, need little care and have amazing forms. I bought the book to be able to understand more about them. The excellent pictures, very difficult to accomplish, (try photographing one of them) meet my goal: to be able to baptize them correctly. I strongly believe that images need to be named, and to do so, this book is marvelous. My thanks to the authors for all the work done to put it together. A last comment, classifying cactus enhances memory, attention and other brain functions that one needs to keep on going as age sets in.

This book was a gift. Very satisfied.

One of the best written books. It tells of it's history, uses, detailed how to care and much more., The writing makes it exciting and interesting. I never liked history because the books were so flat and boring, But this isn't. He writes so that you want to read more, The book is Very Informative.

Very good quality pictures which are extremely helpful to identify the various plants.

What great service, very pleased.

Could have been better set out with genra differences/ plant identification

英語なんで読むのはしんどいけど、写真がいっぱいなので、眺めていて楽しい。値段は2000円台だったので、そう高いとは言えないと思う。　他の人も書いてるけど、同じ女性が何度も大きさの比較のために写真に登場する。旦那の趣味に付き合わされてあちこち連れ回されてるのか、と思うと、ちょっと笑っちゃう。

I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone with even the vaguest interest in cacti and succulents. I find it an informative book that gives you interesting reading material covering succulents and their habitats and how to care for them. The book also gives you a basic but still helpful guide to browse through at any time, to assist you in recognising the different species of succulents and cacti. The guide shows wonderful colour images of various common and unusual types from each species and good size paragraphs so that you can learn a little about them.A very good book for anyone to own, my copy has already become well thumbed as I am always looking in it as I spot a cactus or other succulent I wish to learn about so I am able to browse the images to discern what species the plant is first of all and then I can then read the short paragraphs to learn more.One of the best books to have amongst your gardening and house-plant books at home.
