Review: The greatest manual I ever read about Carnivorous Plants - Never had much luck growing carnivorous plants and the information was scarce and sometimes too much academic. I had to import some books from France to understand a little more about this amazing critters, but it was never quite suffice. This is a great and very interesting book with lots of important information. I wish I had found it earlier. - It would had save me lots of money in plants that died under my clumsy care and in boring books filed with scientific jargon that was in most cases useless in a practical manner to keep the plants alive and thriving. Pages and pages of dissertation about the discussion on how to or why to classify this particular species in this particular group. I call this Book a Manual because there are so much important stuff about how to grow, raise, reproduce, maintain, fertilize and feed Carnivorous Plants that is like a consulting book that stays available to know more and how to solve problems when they arrive with dealing with those amazing unusual plants. But don't get me wrong, No one reads manuals like reading a novel but you will read this book from its first page to the last one.Very well written and very interesting practical information with hundreds of pictures that will clarify your concept of Carnivorous Plants. Loved reading the book and the Author even throws some pieces of humor dealing with technical and scientific stuff. If you want to know about Carnivorous Plants, get this book.
Review: Fabulous Layout and Quality Information - I bought this book after I had purchased a Cobra Lily at my local nursery, and it's fantastic! Great photos, and had all the information I needed to know how to care for my plant. Very detailed care instructions on all types of carnivorous plants, and the info on terrariums was great. I couldn't put it down! I was especially interested in the natural history of the plants, and the information is incredibly thorough. Things like breakdown on the soil components and what kind of fertilizer is safe were very helpful too (I was always under the impression that carnivorous plants couldn't take fertilizer, which is a yes and no sort of thing). After I was done reading I was so excited about them I ended up ordering more plants online from the author's nursery. I had no idea so many carnivores were temperate climate plants. Before doing preliminary research I had been under the impression they were all tropical. This book definitely has a permanent spot on my shelf. I've been keeping various reptiles and insects for several years and really appreciate a well written and beautifully laid out care manual that has quality information. Some of it could be found online in bits and pieces, but nothing like what The Savage Garden has to offer. I didn't get to see the original version, but there are notes in the revised edition about what had been missing and what was updated. Five stars absolutely.
