Specialist Publications for Growers of Succulent Plants

The Cactus File Handbook Series is a library of colourful reference books, providing a comprehensive guide to selected genera and groups of succulent plants. Every Handbook is illustrated throughout with high quality colour photographs, with the pictures of each plant appearing alongside the relevant text. Every species is discussed in full, with details of its history, synonyms, habitat, variability, cultivation requirements, field collection numbers and much more besides.

This exciting series of Handbooks has quickly established itself as the indispensable reference library for growers of succulent plants, providing unrivalled information on groups of plants previously poorly covered in the popular literature.
