Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Most succulents do not die of neglect. They die of kindness in a dim room, in a pot that cannot dry out. This book fixes that.Written for the absolute beginner, it starts with the four conditions that decide everything - light, water, soil and the pot - and only then turns to the plants themselves. Every timing is given as a range to adjust rather than a rule to obey, because nobody can tell you how often to water a plant they have not seen.Inside: - Why almost every indoor succulent dies from one of only three causes- The shadow test: how to judge a windowsill in ten seconds, without a meter- Soak and dry, with four ways to tell that a pot is really dry- Three soil mixes you can blend from two bagged ingredients- Six care groups you can read off the plant, instead of a name you cannot trust- A month-by-month year, from the first spring soak to a dry winter rest- Repotting, leaf and cutting propagation, and the rot rescue, step by step- Pests handled mechanically, with no sprays and no chemicals- A symptom table that names the cause and sends you to the right chapterBring a plant home, get the four conditions right, and it will outlive every previous attempt.
