Prick: Cacti and Succulents: Choosing, Styling, Caring

The title of the book is great there is a lot of useful information in growing and maintaining these plants very informative book

Absolutely perfect condition , brilliant price and very speedy delivery ! Couldn’t fault

Looks nice - some really nice photos - but I got the feeling the book was more about the author and their story at times, rather than the plants. Still, a nice addition to the collection of succulent books.

Good starter guide. Bought as a gift.

I'm a succulent lover, but I mainly bought this book as I thought it made an interesting display book. The cover is stunning, and the name is tongue in cheek. That said the book itself is a lovely read, and though I don't live in London I follow the author on Instagram because I love to hear about her store, and career. This book is highly recommended.

My copy of this book arrived last week and I am delighted with it. Beautifully photographed, the book gives easy to understand and helpful information on the different types of cacti and succulents with useful tips on keeping them alive. I was always really scared of having plants as I seemed to always kill them but I have bought plants from the shop (check it out if you haven't already) and will be using this book to help me build my collection! Finally I too - the least green-fingered person I know- can have a home filled with life-giving plants and if I'm too lazy to get my act together, I'll at least have a beautiful coffee table book!

I brought this for my father in law who loves gardening and owns alot of cacti. The title of the book is great and he seen the funny side of it! That aside, there is alot of useful information in growing and maintaining these plants.

This is a nice book well presented with information and pictures on plants cacti and succulents. However, the title is well named "Prickly" as its mostly about cactus plants and cactus plants are a bit too prickly for me to enjoy, but would recommend this book for those who enjoy cactus.

In Prick, the author gives us an overview of her experience with succulents and cactuses. I practically pet mine, so I get it. However, my issue with the book (which is beautifully imaged and relatively organized) is there are key elements missing in the plant gallery section. Leon’s more current book, Plant, corrects this by including “care” information WITH the respective plant and not at the end in another section entirely, how Prick has it laid out. Succulents and cactuses, each have varying watering and light needs. Thus, the watering and care section of the book make this a hint confusing as we’re given generalized guidelines and not something specific to the plant based on type.

Me gustó el directorio sobre cada planta, contiene buena información. El capitulo sobre como exhibirlos es breve. Buena guía para seguir consultando.

Very nice, handy and useful book. Nice pictures, useful advices for succulents caring. I will create a succulent corner in my house following this book advices!

インテリアとして購入しました。中身は読めませんがとても気に入ってます。

Bought this as a Xmas gift for my sister and took a snoop through it before wrapping it up. Its a very informative book filled with lots of great information about cacti and succulents. May have to buy one for myself lol.
