Essential Succulents: The Beginner's Guide Paperback – November 13, 2018

Nice information book...

Fabulous information!

Good pictures and information. Helped me to learn more about taking care of my succulents. Liked the layout of the chapters and how the information was presented.

What a gorgeous book this is. There are tons of full size photos, facts, suggestions, and general information on successfully growing and propagating succulents. I highly recommend this to beginners as well as those with more experience who may want to compare variety’s side by side. I’m proud to have this on display.

Last fall I purchased a couple succulent arrangements at Trader Joe's on a whim. I could never keep plants alive before, and was determined to keep these alive. Well, they started showing issues after a few weeks... and when the internet couldn't diagnose the issue, I grabbed this book.This guide is a great starting point for any succulent novice – all the BASIC information is in one place. No need to try every which way to google for your issues (what's with succulent care sites having awful search engine optimization??) and hope you've got the right answer. Turns out my issue was all water – I never replanted my succulents into the appropriate soil, so they were having issues with retaining way too much water even though I was very sparing with when I watered.This book gave me the confidence to expand from my two original arrangements to now having an office window filled with succulents – and a tray of almost 100 succulent leaves that I'm trying to propagate. However, it really is just the basic information. I still find myself returning to the internet if I want more info. The author's own website greatly expands on the book – but isn't the easiest to navigate from start to finish.

Very nice book in perfect condition. Excellent photos of plants for identification purposes. Easy to read and understand.

A good review of popular succulents. Nice layout and nice pix.

This book is more basic than I understood that authors review
