An amazing piece work! This was a phenomenal read, with many spectacular photos to augment the information. It is basic enough to read, but with a lot more detail than a beginner book. As a new convert to pachyforms, I am truly mesmerized. An absolute must have!!

Incredibly, de Vosjoli has done it again. Pachyforms 2 is every bit as good as his first Pachyforms book. The photography alone makes this book invaluable to anyone with an interest in container gardening. Yet this book is also packed with technical information written in a style that is friendly, easily understandable and entertaining. The authors fully cover plant selection, pot selection, potting and staging, training, working with the vining pachyforms, and maintenance. Reading the chapter on the future lets the reader in on the love affair the authors have had with fat plants. They are sensitive to and respectful of traditional bonsai, and indeed coin a term "SMOLA" (Succulents as a Medium of Living Art) to distinguish work with fat plants. Whether you are a pachyform aficionado, a bonsai traditionalist looking to branch out, or just getting started in the wonderful world of container plants, this book is worthy of reading.

This is primarily a book of photos. It really opens the door to the possibilities of creating beautiful bonsai-like art. Anyone with an interest in succulent plants or bonsai would do well to get this book.
I was amazed at how many plant families contain suitable plants for training into art works. I also have the author's previous book on Pachyforms and I'm feverishly growing things so that I can apply some of these principles.
