My copy of this book arrived last week and I am delighted with it. Beautifully photographed, the book gives easy-to-understand and helpful information on the different types of cacti and succulents with useful tips on keeping them alive. I was always really scared of having plants as I seemed to always kill them but I have bought plants from the shop (check it out if you haven’t already) and will be using this book to help me build my collection!
Finally I too – the least green-fingered person I know- can have a home filled with life-giving plants and if I’m too lazy to get my act together, I’ll at least have a beautiful coffee table book!

- I was a bit surprised when I first opened my parcel as the book was smaller than I expected. The contents though make up for the lack of size. It is lovely. Very clear and concise and in alphabetical order which is always handy.
- The only thing that could have been better was that the packaging which was just a padded bag, it would have been better protected by a sleeve of cardboard ie like amazon send their dvds in the post. Apart from that I have enjoyed reading it so far.

- I have accumulated a small collection of cacti and wanted a simple book which would help me to look after them properly. I have previously killed cacti through over watering and I wanted to ensure that I did not do the same again. This is a great little book for beginners like me. It is simply and clearly written with good quality illustrations. I particularly liked the way the main points are set out making it very easy to read and absorb. There are 3 main sections. The 1st section helps you to identify the plants which you own. The 2nd section covers the basics of how to look after your cacti and then the final section provides profiles of 105 different cacti and succulents. This section gives you specific instructions relating to each particular cactus. Altogether this is a very useful book for beginners like me who don’t want screeds of detailed instructions.

- This is the most glorious little book. I recently got into keeping some cacti and succulents on my kitchen windowsill, largely because I seem to rapidly kill off most other types of houseplant I bring home and these seem to be the most forgiving! It’s been so satisfying re-potting them and watching them grow and in some cases even flower! Emma’s book is simple and stylish, with lovely photos and clear instruction on how to maintain a happy bunch of cacti. It talks you through many different varieties and what they like best in terms of light, watering, care and potting. After reading this book I’m now really keen to expand my collection and start attempting some propagation! More please, Emma!

- I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone with even the vaguest interest in cacti and succulents. I find it an informative book that gives you interesting reading material covering succulents and their habitats and how to care for them. The book also gives you a basic but still helpful guide to browse through at any time, to assist you in recognising the different species of succulents and cacti. The guide shows wonderful colour images of various common and unusual types from each species and good size paragraphs so that you can learn a little about them.
- A very good book for anyone to own, my copy has already become well thumbed as I am always looking in it as I spot a cactus or other succulent I wish to learn about so I am able to browse the images to discern what species the plant is first of all and then I can then read the short paragraphs to learn more.
- One of the best books to have amongst your gardening and house-plant books at home.

- This book has a comprehensive interface with lots of pictures. It’s easy to navigate and has two quite extensive directories for succulents and cacti. I’m happy with it, although I still have several questions after reading it – not all species are listed, even those common in garden centres, and more information on care could be available. I also wanted to know how to grow cacti from scratch, and this isn’t really explained. But still, a great book to have in the collection, and to gain basic background (and historical!) knowledge about the topic 🙂
