The illustrated cactus encyclopedia will introduce you to the representatives of the botanical family Cactaceae, to which all these prickly beauties belong. The variety of their forms, the sophistication of flowers and thorns made these plants the subject of passionate love of many cactus growers. The book was created by two enthusiasts, an author and a photographer (Rudolf Schubik), forever fascinated by cacti. They repeatedly traveled to the homeland of these extraordinary plants - to Mexico, Peru, Chile and other regions of the New World and brought from there unique pictures and information about the environment in which cacti live. Growing conditions are extremely important in order to understand the requirements of pets for watering, lighting and soil, that is, to obtain the information necessary for all lovers. Cacti as representatives of the same family are grouped in the book according to the principle of origin. The homeland of most of them is undoubtedly Mexico. Then you can name the southern United States, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
