Review: Love this book - Love this book. Full of useful information -- botanical background on succulents, growing these plants indoors and outdoors, in containers or in ground, pests, tools, propagation, specific families and species. Has various lists such as -- succulents for beginners, cacti for beginners, succulents/cacti for advanced, those for shade, cold tolerant, caudiciforms, and more categories. Nice handy size and light weight enough to carry around for quick reference. He has a great online succulent nursery with a wide variety of quality plants. Have ordered plants from him for years and have never been disappointed. Review: Very instructional - I love how thorough this book can be. I am not saying this gives how to set up a nursery of cacti and forever set you off with all the questions you need answered, but it helps the avid grower. This has examples from all the major species, as well as a picture, information about where they come from and where they grow best. It also gives general tips on care and maintenance to keep your hobby alive and well. I bought this book more because it had a large section for succulents than because it's a complete illustrated guide, but I really do like having pictures to show exactly what they are talking about. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #99,081 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Science of Cacti & Succulents #38 in Ornamental Plant Gardening (Books) #51 in House Plant Gardening | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 401 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Illustrated Guide to Growing Cacti & Succulents: The definitive practical reference on identification, care and cultivation, with a directory of 400 varieties and 700 photographs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vTN6nNNHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book *by J***S on January 22, 2016* Love this book.

There seems to be lots of books on cacti and succulents with photos and descriptions of a large number of species but with very little cultural information. This book takes a different approach. It assumes you wish to grow cacti and succulents and helps you make your selection based on their growing requirements. It gives a lot of good cultural information. I have quite a few cacti and succulent books but this one fill a gap that my other books don't cover very well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1703257-the-complete-illustrated-guide-to-growing-cacti-and-succulents-definitive](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1703257-the-complete-illustrated-guide-to-growing-cacti-and-succulents-definitive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
