nonfiction/gardening. Valuable info about types of cacti and succulents (for those that have a lot of mystery acquisitions), HOW TO PROPAGATE AND CARE FOR THEM, and tons of inspiration for creating lovely arrangements (and accompanying advice on when you'll likely need to re-pot said arrangements).

A good book to read as well as keep for reference. Lots of full color photos, descriptions of plants, motivating examples of landscaping and great ideas for combining various types to plant in pots. A plus is the section on "crafting" with succulents - step by step photos and descriptions of fun ideas to make. I borrowed this book from the library but it would make a great gift to have as a reference.

This book was "OK" but there are lots better ones out there, even by this author.

I'm a big fan of succulents, and I mainly have succulents in my home - the only non-succulent I own is a spider plant. I've been a fan of succulent since my first Christmas cactus when I got married for how easy they are to care for - and for how simply beautiful they are when they flower, and I've never looked back. I tend to pamper my plants for a while and then life gets busy & I neglect them for a while, and succulents do great with these conditions. Just give 'em water once in a while & lots of sun & they are happy.

As with other books of this type, the book is dominated by the beautiful photography of the plants. The book talks about succulent care, but also what you can do with your plants - from edibles, to crafting, to flowering.

Though the focus is on outdoor plants - something not realistic for most varieties here in MA - there's a lot of information for the indoor container gardener, too.

I received a review copy for free from netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
