Success with Succulents: Choosing, Growing, and Caring for Cactuses and Other Succulents

I am so glad i purchased this book...it is informative, easy to understand, with the essential details clearly stated so i can be successful with succulent and cactus interest.....and , it really fueled my budding enthusiasm for them....the more read the more excited i became about them and all the wonderful species....i have now started propagating and experimenting thanks to this book.....Oh, and the photos are outstanding...not only beautiful but, direct to the directions being given....a great purchase.....

As most other reviews state, this book has lots of nice photos and useful info. However, it is not as dense with info as I would like and had hoped for. In many cases, there is a 2 page spread for a single photo, and the photo subjects, while lovely, really don't need 2 pages to make any point that's helpful to me. I am waiting to find a book on succs that provides more advice for using them outdoors in the U.S. Southeast, where I live. I have my own proof that succs can flourish here when chosen and planted carefully, but this book mostly commented on Southwest and indoors. So I will gladly add it to my garden library, but am lukewarm about the contents.

This is an awesome book. It's very informative and has pictures so you know it's the right plant your working with. Wording is easy to understand and me and my teenagers are learning quite a bit about succulents and can't wait to expand our little collection into a huge one that will last this time. Would highly recommend this to anyone new to succulents and even long time growers. It's a great book to have around just in case.

I thought I bought a new book, but the book came waterlogged and used looking. Overall, I like the book for what it's for.

So much useful information that a beginner understands

Great book for any one interested in growing succulents. Great pictures and gives a list of succulents recommended for growing. I have been growing succulents for years, and this book even had information in it that I wasn't even aware of.

I love the images in here. It makes it easy to determine what you have, and what you want to buy. The descriptions are also very useful for knowing best care for each plant.

A good reference tool for growing succulents

After my first review on Succulents books I suggested you can get all info from the Web / Internet; and you can. The problem with that is it’s more than likely it’s going to be on your phone / tablet. There’s a chance that both items will get covered with whatever when planting if you are looking for information. I would think it’s best to have information in a book form with you so you can check for information without getting phone / tablet dirty. Good book to read and keep by you side.

Great book.Well packaged.Very knowledgeable information.

Very good book. Would recommend.

Bought based on the reviews and l am very happy with book. Beautiful pictures and lots of information, much of which l knew but still very interesting and would recommend. Lot cheaper than Chelsea Flower show site, which is were l saw the book advertised.

good
