Cacti and Succulent Handbook, Expanded 2nd Edition: The Ultimate Guide to Growing Techniques with a Directory of 300+ Common Species and Varieties (CompanionHouse) Agave, Aloe, Sansevieria, and More Paperback – April 28, 2022

Love them amount of information and pictures to go with each plant to identify them

My son is crazy about plants, with succulents being a particular interest. I gifted him this book, and he really likes it. Not sure how much detail it really offers, but the presentation is professional and appears to be somewhat in-depth. The construction of the book is sound. Hope this helps.

The description states this book includes “How to cultivate cacti and succulents, their natural habitats, care, handling, propagation, repotting, common pests and diseases, and more.” However, the “care, handling, propagation, repotting, common pests and diseases” sections are very minimal. I bought this book thinking it would help me learn how to better care for the cacti and succulent plants I have and possibly other cacti/succulents I’d like to acquire in the future. Instead, this book is more like a plant type/identification encyclopedia. The book states it includes”directory” and I think that’s a description of the book overall. Even then, it gives minimal information about each plant species. Think about it like learning surface level information for a ton of topics instead of in depth coverage of a few topics. This book is not great for beginners (like me) seeking to learn all the things needed to keep their plants alive. I’m considering keeping the book for the directory part, but it didn’t serve the reason I bought it. Most likely, I’m going to return it since I need to know how to care for my plants before I learn what other types of plants exist.

Very Informative book. I learned a lot and i'm still learning a lot

Nice book just didnt cover what I was looking for.

The photos in this book are incredible, and the content is just what we were looking for to help inform a desert landscape design. Highly recommend!

This book had information on my plants and was very informative.

Third book is nice. However, I expected more images and information about succulents rather than cacti. Book is very informative and it's clearly written. I expected different.
