Program Description

This talk delves into the world of epiphytic cacti, exploring the main groups and insights on propagation. Along the way, he discusses accidental epiphytes, plant posers, a pinch of biogeography, and some tips based on years of experience. The presentation blends botanical information, personal insights with practical cultivation advice, making it accessible to both novice and experienced growers seeking to expand their knowledge of succulent plants.

succulents for a decade, with a recent focus on South American species. He also serves as the program director of the Monterrey Bay Area Cactus and Succulent Society.

Show & tell table: Echeveria on the succulent side, epiphytic cacti on the cactus table, and Cyphostemma for pachyforms, plus anything else that’s looking good or in flower.

Featured grower: TBD.

Snack table:, There will be a shared spread, but we suggest bringing something every couple of months if you partake regularly. As a thought, we are often short on drinks.
