Cacti (New Plant Library) Hardcover – Bargain Price, May 21, 2002

This book illustrates why, if at all possible, you should first check out plant books you are considering buying at the local library. Although attractively laid out and with good photos, only a small number of cactus species are mentioned and important information is missing. For example, the author remarks that Mammillaria plumosa is difficult to grow but neglects to say why so I still don't know enough to make an informed decision on whether or not to purchase one (I've been thinking about it).On the good side, the photos are excellent and he does talk about basic cactus care including tolerable temperature ranges for each species he discusses. He also discusses planting a cactus bowl with good pictures and tips. It's probably a good book for a beginner but doesn't contain nearly enough information for what I want.

I was left a large cacti collection when my grandfather passed away. This book covers everything I needed to know! So far I have been able to keep them alive. It has also been referenced by several friends who found it useful to troubleshoot their cactus problems. Thanks Cacti book!

It's 67 pages of popular cacti with brief descriptions, not all the cacti or how to care for them. I live in Arizona and I have cacti here that aren't in this book. Useless for the price paid. Will return most definitely.

I love this book, I taking it to work (I work in the Garden Department of Ace Hardware). Love all the information it gives me.

Good pictures and the content is good, has varius tips and guidelines.

Useful and beautifully illustrated

great

Love the book.

Nice pictures, but when you actually read it, it is identical to another book I also have by Terry Hewitt. if you haven't got a book on cacti already, it is a great beginners book.

This is a book which I should have double check myself after suggesting this in a previous review. It’s not for me but, other succulent lovers could find this book has all info they need. Good photograph in the book and well presented. I’am not going to rate it as I think that wouldn’t be fair. It seem I have to rate the book sorry for this one⭐️

I am pleased with the book, if you are just getting interested in cacti, thenI think you will find this book very helpful.

Pictures are really nice but in a lot of them you cannot see the plant for the flower. So its difficult to identify plants from the pictures. Very basic cacti management.

Fantastic book on cactus lot's of information you need excellent book
