Cacti by Terry Hewitt
This volume explains how to use the cacti to the best advantage in the garden, details the history of the plant and offers cultivation ideas for everything from indoor windowsill arrangements to greenhouses and outdoor cultivation. The plant catalogue presents at-a-glance reference to over 50 varieties of cacti, with origins of variety, botanical description and planting ideas for each. The text also includes a grower's guide that covers information on cultivating cacti: buying and selecting the best plants, propagation, and controlling pests and diseases.
Terry Hewitt has been a collector of cacti and succulent plants for the last 40 years; for over 25 of those he has been growing them commercially at holly gate Cactus Nursery in Sussex. A lecturer and writer, Terry has contributed to many articles and books, including The Royal Horticultural Society Gardeners' Encyclopedia of Plants and The Gardener's Guide to Cacti and Succulents.
