Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Stuck On Cactus takes the mystery out of owning and raising these often-overlooked plants. Written especially for the beginning gardener, Stuck On Cactus takes a light-hearted approach toward the care of succulent plants. Not only is Stuck On Cactus fun to read and easy to understand, but it is filled with useful information, like how to keep from killing your cactus in the first two months (very important), how to fight nasty cactus-eating pests (like red spider mites and thrips), and how to put together your own cactus grower's tool kit (filled with high tech equipment like bent forks and chopsticks. Raising more than 500 cactus pants in three greenhouses, David E. Wright (who is also librarian for the Oregon Cactus and Succulent Society) knows first-hand how hard it is to grow cactus and has developed the ideal introductional "how to" guide that will prove invaluable to any gardening reference bookshelf.
