Mitchell Beazley Prick: Cacti and Succulents: Choosing, Styling, Caring

More a catalogue of varieties. I was hoping for much more information on care but there was very little of that.

My copy of this book arrived last week and I am delighted with it. Beautifully photographed, the book gives easy to understand and helpful information on the different types of cacti and succulents with useful tips on keeping them alive. I was always really scared of having plants as I seemed to always kill them but I have bought plants from the shop (check it out if you haven't already) and will be using this book to help me build my collection!Finally I too - the least green-fingered person I know- can have a home filled with life-giving plants and if I'm too lazy to get my act together, I'll at least have a beautiful coffee table book!

At first I was really just interested in a beginners guide to succulents, and I got that in spades, in the form of this pictorial piece of art, I simple couldn't be more pleased with this book and I hope that there will be many more to come! Never thought I'd say this but, I LOVE PRICK!!!

Nice book as a guide to plant types, the section on care is minimal.

I brought this for my father in law who loves gardening and owns alot of cacti.The title of the book is great and he seen the funny side of it!That aside, there is alot of useful information in growing and maintaining these plants.
