Crazy About Cacti And Succulents (Brooklyn Botanic Garden All-Region Guide) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Cacti and succulents are among the most bizarre and beautiful plants a gardener can grow—and included here are some of the most remarkable of them all: stapeliads and ceropegias. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has brought together master gardeners from across the country, who show how easy it is to cultivate a collection of cacti and succulents on a windowsill or under artificial lights. They also introduce varieties that are hardy enough to grow outside in most climates. There are chapters on medicinal plants and succulent bonsai, plus advice on how experts groom their plants for competition. Finally, readers can learn how to help save the cacti and succulents that are threatened with extinction in the wild.

The book provides a good understanding of what succulents are, how to select and grow them in your climate/zone. The pictures were beautiful and allows you to select the ones you would enjoying growing.
Beautiful book but not what I was expecting. I needed more info on succulents and this book focused mostly on cacti.
Nice reference book. I enjoy reading and collecting succulents. The book gives insight into different plants...growing and care. I've ordered several books for friends..
Good service.......beautiful book
i was looking for a complete list of cacti species that are collected in small pots. I collect them and was curious about names but it did not help
This is a very nice book, lot's of nice pictures even though it is very basic.
I had hoped to see more varieties of succulents and cacti. The resources are very good, however. I am looking for a source on unusual plants.
