The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Succulents tells you the scientific information on succulents families. It has many great pictures, but mostly of the plants in natural habitat, which is very different from the “house plants” look. There is a lot of technical terminology and explanation of photosynthesis, plants and flowers structure, few propagation tips and very little information on plants care and requirements, like watering, lighting, etc. If you looking for a plant science book – this is it. But if you are looking for plants identification and basic care tips(like I am), look for some other book.
There are so many succulents in the world. Many of them are losing their natural environment to various forms of environmental degradation. A book like this goes a long way to help preserve what remains of many endangered succulent flora.
