Book about succulents?

4 replies

I've recently got into succulents and I'd like to learn more about them. All the books I've found so far seem to be about both cacti and succulents, and there's too much about cacti and not enough detail about succulents, they just cover the very common varieties.

It's the tender houseplant/greenhouse ones I'm more interested in.

Does anybody know of a good book please?

OP, as you've found, most books are about cacti and succulents, but this book is fairly comprehensive. I have a vast library of books on C & S, having grown them for over 40 years, but most succulent books tend to be on specific genera, e.g. Echeverias, Euphorbias, Agaves, Haworthias etc., etc., and they can be quite expensive to buy.
The book linked to was written by Terry Hewitt (now deceased) who owned a wonderful C & S nursery in West Sussex years ago - I knew him personally.
Although I haven't read this particular book, I'm sure it will have plenty of interesting info, and isn't too expensive.

Brilliant, that looks like just the sort of thing I'm after, thank you.
