I've always liked planting these around Christmas time, and this has been an absolutely invaluable guide to doing so. It is truly everything you need to know about them, how best to grow and nourish them, what diseases they may get and how to protect them from these. There is a whole chapter devoted to the different diseases of Poinsettias, which is fantastic because this is always a concern.On each plant is included a chapter on its history and origins, also (depending on the plant) information on hybrids, new breeding trends, indoor and general care requirements, ideal outdoor growing requirements, new cultivars, plant shape and proportion, miniature varieties, commercial propagation, outdoor care requirements, and of course propagation methods etc - and much more besides. There is a wealth of information on each plant! This is definitely all you need to know about Amaryllis, Paperwhites and Poinsettias. Also included at the end is an additional resources section for more information on each plant. If this was a paperback version it would be "well-thumbed!" Highly recommended!
