Fall in love with succulents!


Succulent Wreath A succulent wreath makes a great addition to any door, room, or wall. Even though it's living, you'll find it is easy to maintain and doesn't require much attention. The types of succulents you'll choose will have a large impact on the look and style of your wreath. You can combine a variety of brightly colored succulents in a range of shapes and textures for a bold look, or select succulents of similar colors and textures to create a more uniform piece. Either way, a succulent wreath is sure to be an impressive addition to your décor.	Living Picture There's something appealing about plants growing vertically rather than in a pot. Succulents do especially well in vertical arrangements, so they are a popular choice for creating living pictures. A living picture can cover an entire wall, or it can be something smaller and more personal. If you're growing indoors, small and personal is a great option. Find a color palette of succulents that you like, or choose a variety of shapes and textures. Rosettes are a popular choice for living pictures, but branchy, trailing, and even somewhat tall succulents work too.	Strawberry Pot If you're looking for something a little different than the typical ceramic pot, try a strawberry pot! These pots come in a variety of sizes and colors and have "pockets" poking out of the sides. Not only do you have plants at the top, but along the sides of the planter as well. Succulents work well in these pockets because they don't need a lot of space for roots. This planter is a simple way to add interest to your succulent garden.

Getting to know succulents

You've seen succulents in magazines, on your Instagram feed, in bouquets, and in gorgeous container arrangements; they're everywhere. Maybe you're intrigued by their bright colors and unusual shapes. Maybe you've heard they're easy to take care of: "anyone can keep them alive" and "they're foolproof." Now you want some of your own, but you're not sure where to start. This book will get you headed in the right direction. There are so many things you can do with these amazing plants! You'll love deciding which plants to get and how to arrange them.

As easy as it gets


Selecting and arranging succulents One of the best things about succulents is that you can pair almost any two varieties and they will look great together. With so many different colors and textures, it's fun to experiment with new combinations. Selecting a beautiful container can be just as fun as selecting the succulents.	Graptoveria - 'Candle Blue' One of the great things about this plant is that it maintains its color pretty well in shade. It puts off new offsets very quickly and forms small clumps.	Graptosedum - 'California Sunset' Graptosedum - 'California Sunset' is a great variety to use in arrangements. Its reddish hue contrasts nicely with the more common green succulents.	Decorated Napkin Ring What better way to dress up a table setting than with succulents? Whether you're planning an event or just want to make dinner a little more special, these simple succulent-decorated napkin rings will add a touch of elegance. This tutorial shows you how to create your own napkin ring using wire and floral tape, but you can also decorate a premade wooden ring. Both options are easy to do and look great.

BEST BEGINNERS BOOK!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

I recently got in to the succulent hobby and I’ve been looking for a book that talks about everything a beginner would need to know from watering, light, propagation, has 100’s of plants for beginners and tells how to take care of the plant. It has different stuff you can do with succulent and cacti. It literally explains everything and in lamins terms. Very to understand but it isn’t “kiddy” like. Beautiful pictures and very nice book. I have several books on succulents (been trying to find a good book) and this one is for sure the best out there!! And I would say it’s not just for beginners. It’s for anyone that loves succulents and cacti. It has info everyone needs to know and how to do things and explains so well.

Everything the beginner needs to know is in this book!

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2018

Excellent book for a beginner succulent lover. The identification section is great. It gives you a clear, gorgeous photo of each type along with a brief description. What I found most helpful though is that for each variety, the author gives you a list telling the mature size, water & sun needs, hardiness zone, & also what other variety it pairs well with. There is a lot of easy to follow guidance for choosing arrangement types and how to make them, best ways to propogate and general care. Although a lot of this info could be found online, it is so much easier to have it all in one place. Also, I read so many online articles that just left me confused. Not so with this book. It is very informative and easy to understand.

Great book for beginners -- and other levels

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book pretty much covers everything you'll need to know if you're getting started in the "succulent world". For years I resisted buying succulents but, when it became apparent that I couldn't grow what I wanted in pots on my front deck, I capitulated and bought a bunch of succulents. Of course, I knew NOTHING about them so bought this book. Now I'm propagating my own plants, have learned to identify Echeveria from a Haworthia, and have learned that most succulents grow well in the sun -- something I should have known before I bought all those sun-loving succulents for my shady deck. This book is well laid out, very well written and has a great "encyclopedia" of many types of succulents. If you only buy one book when you're starting out, make it this one.

Lot's of arrangement ideas.

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a nice book with great pictures and lot's of step by step instructions via print and picture for arrangements. This book does not go into detail about each succulent, so if that is what you are looking for, this is not the book for you. Each page on chapter 5 covers one succulent. You get one to two sentences describing the succulent and bullet points on size, water, sun, hardiness, and pairing. I truly appreciate the pairing section. For me, this book would have received 5 stars if chapter 5 would have covered more succulents.

I have recently become interested in succulents and I needed a book to tell me how to care for them, and all the different ways they can be displayed. Found this used book, and although it was listed in excellent condition (which it was!), even with the shipping charges, it was still MUCH cheaper that a new book. The pictures are clear and show details. Just a very interesting book. I am tickled to have found it!

I am just starting out with my succulent collection. I wanted to do it right and this book is perfect to reference for starting out. I came across a web site Succulents and Sunshine. I was impressed with the information and multi tools available on site. The site belongs to the author of this book. If you want to take care of your succulents then I highly recommend this book ...and to check out her site.

Absolutely love Cassidy Tuttles website and blogs. Finding out this book was able to be mine within my actual hands, I purchased. She takes beautiful photographs of her own succulents grown by her and she has all the basics and more for you to learn. I love having it around for beginner friends and to flip through when bored. I'm not a beginner anymore so it's not much use for me lesson wise but she does have a whole section in the back of different succulent species and the specific details about them when it comes to zones, water, and light preferences. She also has some tutorials on designing and crafting with succulents. Great book. Great book to have in general!

Sehr schönes Buch über Sukkulenten und allerlei Sukkulenten Ideen. Man findet darin nicht nur Informationen über die verschiedenen Arten, sondern auch Inspirationen, wie man mit Sukkulenten kreativ werden kann. Alles ist mit schönen Bimdern verdeutlicht und obwohl das Buch auf Englisch ist, ist alles leicht zu verstehen. Perfekt für Sukkulenten Einsteiger!

Pas mal mais trop dans les généralités

Reviewed in France on July 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

De belles images et pas mal d'informations. Mais j'ai trouvé que c'était quand même un peu léger par moment. J'aurais par exemple aimé avoir plus de contenu sur la fiche de chaque plante. Et j'ai trouvé un peu dommage que la partie 'succulent projects' prenne autant de place dans le livre. C'est un livre qui est très bien pour débutants, mais qui reste trop dans les généralités pour les autres.
