Toured a grower’s cacti collection today and got a bunch of helpful tips on seed germination and a free Gila Monster gamble oak sapling ;____; His dog’s name is Baby !! Warm fuzzies abound
sillygirltypebeat my great grandmother owned the first nursery in my hometown so he learned everything from her and ended up becoming a landscape artist who specializes in xeriscapes using plants native to the Chihuahuan Desert!! he used to grow a lot of his own plants for this work but ended up easing out of that. I spent a lot of time growing up going with him to different nurseries and growers 🥹❤️
That cacti grower I met a few weeks ago gave me some advice about growing from seed - look who germinated today !! 🥹 My first cactus - Opuntia macrorhiza 💓
There’s a succulent/cactus garden at my work. I periodically walk there and get cuttings and pups from the parts of the plants you can’t see from the trails.
Then I propagate them.
