How it works

Register

148pp. Softcover. Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout.

In this B.C.S.S. book, Steven Hammer with his usual mind stretching vocabulary and graphic writing style, unfolds the history of these little treasures; shows us the plants in habitat, a necessary step if we are to be able to understand their requirements in cultivation; illustrates their distribution; introduces us to their powers of self-hiding and enlightens us about the precipitation they receive in the wild.

He takes us into the greenhouse and advises how to best cultivate lithops, from pollinating the plants to seed-raising, from light requirements to resting the plants
