Succulents have become some of the most popular houseplants, and
with good reason: they’re easy to grow…most of the time. But
what happens when a plant outgrows its pot? Did you know succulents
can get sunburned? How do you turn one plant into more plants? In
Succulents at Home, expert gardener John Tullock addresses these
questions and many more. Here, readers will learn to make the most
of their plants from the how and why of soil and container choice
to step-by-step instructions for repotting, propagating new
succulents, and creating arrangements like terrariums and wreaths.
The book is complete with a catalog of 75 species—flower-shaped
echeverias, pointy haworthias, flowering kalanchoes, round
mammillaria cacti, and more—which explains special care
instructions for each variety. Tullock’s friendly voice
and years of experience, and more than 100 color photographs, make
this a must-have guide for fool-proof succulent gardening. And with
a focus on growing succulents to enjoy indoors, this is a book for
plant lovers in all regions and climates.
Grow food for freshness. Grow food organically. Grow food to
connect with nature. Whatever the goal, you don't need a lot of
space to enjoy the benefits of homegrown veggies, herbs, and
fruits. In Grow Food at Home, gardening expert John Tullock shows
readers just how easy it is to enjoy "farm"-fresh produce grown
right on the windowsill, the porch, or in a tiny backyard. Covering
artificial lighting, hydroponics, vertical gardening, straw-bale
planters, and more, the book offers even the most confined
apartment dwellers plenty of options to get growing. Tullock shares
all the tips and tricks readers need to make small-space gardening
a success, with information on starting seeds, transplanting,
succession planting, "crop" rotation, and other procedures-all
tailored to the small-space garden-plus recipes to make the most of
the harvest. Readers will be energized to grow a mouth-watering
selection of micro-crops, from lettuces and herbs to tomatoes,
cucumbers, beets, and even small fruits-no matter how little room
they have available.
