Cacti and Other Succulents

Some selected resources of note.

Books (our library has most of these titles)

  • Cactus in the Snow: A Guide to Growing Hardy Cacti in the Wet and Frozen North, by Bruce Brethauer
  • Growing Winter Hardy Cacti in Cold/Wet Climate Conditions, by John N. Spain
    (These two books are perfect for those who want to grow winter hardy cactus in Canada successfully).

  • The Ultimate Book of Cacti and Succulents, by Miles Anderson (Good all around resource, well illustrated and comprehensive.)
  • The Complete Book of Cacti & Succulents, by Terry Hewitt (Similar in look and layout to the above Ultimate Book of Cacti and Succulents, also a good all around resource.)
  • Stuck on Cactus: A Beginning Grower's Guide, by David E. Wright (No frills guide for the beginner that's simple to use).
  • Cacti and Succulents, by Hans Hecht
    (This one is helpful because the author is based in Germany, and writes about care requirements for specific cacti when in a northern climate.)
  • The Cactus Family, by Edward F. Anderson
    (Considered the definitive work on cactus, more botanical in nature than how to grow them at home, though.)
  • 500 Cacti: Species and Variations in Cultivation, by Ken Preston-Matham (Good guide for identification and basic information)
  • Designing With Succulents, by Debra Lee Baldwin
    (A nicely illustrated book on landscaping with succulents, author covers many climate zones, including colder ones).
