this is a very imformative book for beginning cactus growers This book is the best thing I have every purchased about cacti. The book gives you important information about watering, lighting, repoting, arranging, feeding, tempature, pests and diseases, and choosing cacti. I would recomend this book for anyone who is a beginning cactus grower, or anyone who has questions about cacti. Have Cactus Questions... This is a great book if you are starting out with Cacti and Succulents. I have had my plants for a while and I still will ask a question to myself, and then go look it up in the book to see if it is there. It is my opinion that this book has something for everyone. It has watering tips, feeding tips, and if you are thinking of starting out with cacti, it will even tell you what is popular for beginners. I looked for a lot of cacti books, and this one was one of the best I found. P.S. It's affordable too!!! Good info, but redundant This little book has some pretty good tips, but if you already have Hewitt's Complete Guide to Cacti and Succulents you don't need this book. Virtually all of the information and photographs (as excellent as they are) comes right from the author's more complete book. So if you already have Hewitt's Comlete Guide... don't waste four bucks on 101 Essential Tips. If you want a good cacti/succulent book buy The Complete Guide to Cacti and Succulents not 101 Essential Tips. A Waste This book is so cursory and high-level that I got nothing out of it. For example, there's an entry on spider mite damage to cacti. It says to combat this use a predatory mite. It fails to tell me which mites are predatory, where I might find them, how to use them, etc. I don't know the purpose of this book. It's so short, vague, and imprecise that some one new to cacti won't find it useful. And it's so vacuous that some one who knows cacti will read it and say "Duh." And it's too little to be a good coffee-table book.... See also:
