Download Succulents - Propagation fb2

I loved this book! Especially the frilly echeveria propagation tips, I wish I could find their book on Health and Care for an affordable price!

birthday gift for wife - she love it!

Do not waste your shelf space or your money.

A Google search will yield better information on every topic covered.

I thought I would go and write a complete review for the series as all books act as part of a whole. All books are relatively short but packed full of glossy colour photos of an amazing array of succulents (and some cactus). Each rating is for the book listed.

Succulents for the garden - this book goes into the functionality of succulents in the garden and containers. The solving problems with succulents part of this book is very handy for explaining how succulents can be used in those hard to grow areas of the garden. The 2nd part of the book is a small overview of common species easily obtained by the casual gardener. A great book for an introduction into succulents.

More succulents for the garden - this book builds on the previous by by looking at the creative aspects of using succulents in the garden through using different types such as cascading, spiney and sculptured succulents for visual effect. A nice book for highlighting all the different shapes and sizes one can find in succulents.

Succulent success in the garden - Not a great deal of substance to this book, just many nice photos of succulents being used for creative garden design. A nice book for ideas on how to mass plant and design with succulents, but not a book for the container gardener really. A good ideas book but not much info.

Succulents propogation - excellent book which could stand by itself as a terrific reference on propogating succulents. Goes through when where and how to propogate succulents with brief overviews on the best way to propogate common types of succuelents for an easy way to boost the home collection. Even goes into some exotic methods of propogation such as drilling and surgical division!

Succulents care and health - goes into the nuts and bolts of being a succulent grower, such as general care, how to rejuvinate old plants, how to identify a bad plant for purchase, how and when to fertilise and how and when to water. Nice book for an overview on how to row these plants well.

Overall a great collection as a collection, the propogation book is by far the best stand alone book. As I have said all books have a great array of amazing pictures to highlight these wonderful plants and the authors obviously know their stuff and are passionate about their hobby. Would recommend for all levels of growers.
