I am new to succulents and wanted to identify the succulents I have in my collection. This book covers 50 succulent varieties and identifies them by their common names, then gives their Latin names. There is good information on how to propagate succulents and designing simple succulent compositions in containers. I have won ribbons at the County Fairs for succulent arrangements. I emailed the author, Ken Shelf with a question, and he responded in general terms. I have another succulent book, Growing Succulents, that is more advanced and only identifies them by their Latin names. Review: Lovely Book About Succulents - Someone gave this book to us as a gift with a dish garden of succulents. Each page has a lovely photo of the succulent described. The descriptions are informative, giving enough (but not too much) information for us to take better care of our plants. I loved this part of the introduction: "Succulents have a drinking problem..." 😀 What follows is clear information about how succulents thrive with the right amount of water/moisture. I ordered this copy for our daughter, who (even as a master gardener) found it to be a great read and a good resource. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #91,439 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Science of Cacti & Succulents #4 in West Region Gardening (Books) #12 in Ornamental Plant Gardening (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,342) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 0.46 x 9.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1641522550 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1641522557 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 184 pages | | Publication date | November 13, 2018 | | Publisher | Callisto | ## Images ![Essential Succulents: The Beginner's Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Gxb057H3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely a beginner's book *by C***E on September 22, 2025* This is definitely a beginner's book.
