Cereus, Coryphantha, Echinocactus, Opuntia, Pachycereus,

specialized types that thrive in different climates around the
world, including both desert cacti and rainforest cacti. For each

hue, height, spread and suitability. It includes step-by-step
photographic guidance on planting in containers and raised beds,
repotting, propagating from cuttings and seed, grafting,

plants. Capable of surviving in extreme environments, the cactus is
surprisingly easy to grow in most gardens. This book guides you

these wonderful plants, and a fully illustrated directory describes
over 50 recommended varietes. There is expert advice on selecting
the best types, planting them in beds and containers, and dealing
with pests and diseases. The book will help you to create amazing
displays in indoor arrangements, in the greenhouse and outdoors.
