SUBÍK, RUDOLF

Cacti and Succulents

Hamlyn. 1985. (ISBN: 9780600008927). Hardcover, (part col.) 17 cm. Hardback no D/J in very good condition. Pictoral covers. Illustrator - Jirin Kaplicka. 'Succulents are a large group of plants having juicy or fleshy parts which act as water-storage organs. Perhaps the best known of the many different families comprising this group are the cacti. Although succulent plants originate from the hot, arid parts of the world and are generally characterized by bizarre shapes and the ability to exist stubbornly in the most unfavourable conditions, they respond very well to indoor cultivation and when grown in ideal surroundings can prove to be extremely attractive house plants, some continuing to flower throughout the year. This book is an excellent introduction to cacti and succulents, explaining their biology, history, cultivation and uses. Ninety-six of these attractive and easily kept plants are described with the aid of full-colour illustrations, together with information on the best conditions for healthy growth'. Used: Acceptable.
