Review: Beautiful reference book. - Books published by DK Penguin Publishing House are always an excellent book. Great photos. Clear instructions. Great reference material and this book is no exception. Love it! My go to cactus book for a beginner like me. Review: Excellent book- great info.- great photos! - Terry Hewitt's Complete Book of Cacti & Succulents may not exactly be complete (it is not an encyclopedia), but it is thorough and is an excellent book especially for beginners. Hewitt discusses the anatomy and discovery of cacti/succulents, how to plant them, propogate them, how to keep them healthy, and even discusses how best to display the plants. And of course the most important part: the plant catalog. He covers hundreds of cacti and succulents in full color. In addition to the many desert cacti I'm happy to say that Hewitt also covers epiphytic cacti including aporocactus, aporophyllum, epiphyllum, and the Christmas cacus. In the back of the book the author includes Plant Selection Lists. In these lists he lists the plants that are best for beginners, as indoor pot plants, those that are easy to flower, those that grow best in the different climates, etc. And I again want to stress the many, many beautiful, clear full color photos throughout the book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #109,272 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Science of Cacti & Succulents #37 in Ornamental Plant Gardening (Books) #115 in Gardening & Horticulture Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,013 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Book of Cacti & Succulents - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ftsTgr99L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful reference book. *by A***R on October 4, 2025* Books published by DK Penguin Publishing House are always an excellent book.

It's somewhat of a challenge, as Japan is far away from their natural habitat. I've bought half a dozen books to help me in my task, and The Complete Book of Cacti and Succulents is far and away my favourite. Why? Mainly because it's not loaded with technical information, yet everything an amateur gardener could need is there. Plus it's well organised and easy to find information. The big, beautiful, gorgeous color photos makes it easy to find what I'm looking for, e.g., if I see a cacti in a shop I'm not sure of, I'll surely find it by just thumbing through the pictures this book. From there, I can find more detailed information on the Internet, if necessary. It may not be for everyone, but (so far) it's the best cacti/succulent reference book for me, bar none. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1957120-the-complete-book-of-cacti-and-succulents](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1957120-the-complete-book-of-cacti-and-succulents) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
