For decades, he has devoted himself intensively to the acclimatization and care of exotic plants in the Mediterranean region, with a particular focus on the Spanish coast.

His knowledge is based not only on theoretical studies, but also on countless field trials, plantings, and personal projects. Through this work, he has developed a deep understanding of how tropical and subtropical species can be successfully adapted to the specific conditions of the Mediterranean climate - and how they can withstand challenges such as water scarcity, difficult soils, and occasional frosts.
As an author, Otto Krüger aims to convey his knowledge in a way that is understandable, practical, and technically accurate. His book impresses with its attention to detail and respectful approach to the environment. Carefully documented texts, high-quality plant portraits, and well-researched sections on key topics such as soil improvement, irrigation, fertilization, and plant protection testify to his high standards of completeness and quality of information.
