There is also advice on planting, maintenance and propagation, plus a plant directory to provide plenty of inspiration. This book includes: advice on keeping cacti in conservatories and other rooms in the house, choosing plants for particular setting, planning an indoor display, instructions for planting cacti outdoors and ideas for bedding displays, maintenance and propagation, and an illustrated plant directory. It is illustrated in full colour with over 150 colour photographs.
