  One of the great wonders of nature is the ability of plants to adapt and survive in the harshest environments. Growing mostly in desert areas, succulents provide many fascinating examples of this. This handy guide introduces how to use succulents to their best advantage both indoors and out. A plant catalogue details over 50 varieties including the origins of each variety, a botanical description, together with the pot culture, height and spread. The growers guide gives information on all you need to know in order to cultivate succulents, from buying and selecting the best plants to controlling pests and diseases. Among succulents, there is an astonishing variety of size, shape and colour to be found. Hardy and stoical, but also immensely varied, every grower will find a succulent to suit their tastes.
