Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Desert candle, string of hearts, and mother-in-law's tongue are among the 60 varieties profiled in this stylish guide to caring for indoor cacti and succulents, low-maintenance houseplants that are popular among city dwellers. Sibley, founder of the startup London Terrariums, provides helpful tips for pruning, watering, propagating, and potting a variety of these plants, and includes troubleshooting advice such as how to spot signs of overwatering. The book includes better-known cacti and succulents as well as more obscure varieties, and artfully captures the aesthetic appeal of each plant, drawing attention to the different shapes and textures. Alluring photos of the plants against brightly colored backdrops accentuate the unique characteristics of each type. The neat design and colorful photos make this book a desirable keepsake for cactus enthusiasts. Color photos. (Apr.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
