The Savage Garden, Revised: Cultivating Carnivorous Plants

An excellent and exhaustive guide to carnivorous plants and how to keep and propagate them. The author’s knowledge is so wide ranging that no useful point is missed out.

Has a lot of useful information about carnivorous plants.

I was suprised the book is much bigger then I thought and has brilliant details. There is a main section on soil, water, light etc then great indepth sections on each main group of plants and their specific needs and if its ok to have them outside etc. I own a venus fly trap, sarracenia, trumpet flavas and a cobra lily so I refer to this a lot as there is a huge amount of conflicting details online. For eg online ppl all saying to keep the flower stalks on my vft but I have read the book and it says to cut it off so I have and rying to grow one from that ha a

I am new to carnivorous plants, didn’t know there were so many! Have’s read it all but after a quick scan through seems very informative.

Brilliant book, I have always had an interest in carnivorous plants, this book covers everything, from soil types and mixing, to plant positions in your home, temperatures, light, feeding, everything.

A must have book for carnivorous plant fans. Bought for my husband as he is just getting into the plants. Highly recommend.

An excellent book .Easy to read or just dip in and out of. If I were to recommend a book on carnivorous plants that covers the subject on these truly fascinating plants in just one title it would be this or the other(slightly older) classic on the subject 'Carnivorous plants' by Adrian Slack . Both are a great read written by experts and very hard to put down . Just get both and you would not need another .

For the past couple of years I have been doing a research on how to cultivate carnivorous plants with the hope of having my little greenhouse. I read quite a few book but none were as helpful as this one. I cannot recommend it enough. Great!!!
