The Gardener's Guide to Succulents: A Handbook of Over 125 Exquisite Varieties of Succulents and Cacti

Loved the pictures. Wished it had more detail on how to take care of each different succulent but still a great beginner book.

After buying 2 books on my Kindle I found this one. It's perfect for identification and has tons of good tips and PICTURES. Though the author may be pretty technical it's a great reference!

The Gardener's Guide to Succulents is a visual feast for plant lovers! With over 125 varieties detailed, it's a comprehensive reference for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Beautifully illustrated and packed with useful information, it guides you in creating stunning succulent compositions.

This is a beautiful book with beautiful pictures and great descriptions. You can tell that a lot of care went into creating this book. The pitfall for me is the star rating system that the book uses to cover ventilation, cold, light, and growth. It's confusing and you have to keep referring to the table of contents section of the book to see what the stars mean. If it wasn't for that, I would love this book. Unfortunately, I am still on the fence about keeping this book even as I write this review.

Ever wanted to start a plant from something you were given for Mother's Day or such? The writing is clear and the photos are excellent. For more info on the subject I will seek this author.

This is a beautiful book for succulent lovers and growers of all skill levels and experience. With gorgeous photos and comprehensive layout, the author has produced a lovely and informative guide to help increase your understanding and knowledge of these delightfully endearing and stunning beauties of nature.

I am a succulent beginner. My husband bought this book for me for Christmas. It has some nice pictures. The info for each plant is very basic and I think I can find a lot more info from online. The star ratings for lighting are so confusing that I had to keep on going back to the beginning to confirm if I understood right. I have only succulents, but more than half of the book is about cacti. I decided to return it.

This book is stunning. The pictures are gorgeous, and while it's not overly informative it does offer unique insight into succulent care and decorative planting.It has pictures of unusual plants that I don't often see in N.E., so it was fun to get ideas and see the different succulent plant families in case I run into something new! I love just flipping through it in the evenings, it's very relaxing and interesting.
