I am located in Las Vegas, NV, USA. ISO miqueliopuntia miquelii. If anyone has segments to sell or trade please contact me. Thank you.

Good day. I am looking for opuntia ciculata pads to purchase or trade. Sometimes it’s called chenille cactus, or cowboy whiskers prickly pear. It has orange glochids. Also, if you have any red spined prickly pear, I would be interested in those as well. Please send me a message if you have either of...

A friend was going to dig out and throw this plant in the trash so I came over and saved it. From the research I’ve done, it seems like this is a hybrid of O. phaeacantha and o. Engelmanii. The plant just appeared in her garden, probably grown from seeds dropped by birds living in the area. I do not...

A friend wanted to remove and throw away this plant, so I swooped in and saved it. She never planted it herself, she said it just appeared one day as a small plant so she moved it to the front garden. It was likely grown from seed that was dropped by birds that live in the area. From the research I ...

I am looking for cuttings of opuntias that are spiny. Anything you got, let me know please.

Thank you in advance.

Holidaymakers often bring plants in their luggage not knowing of any plant regulations until they are given declaration cards that ask whether they have any food or plant materials etc and if not allowed it is simply confiscated. As to postal services, I am sure the general public often mail plants...

Hello! Has anyone ever mailed cuttings from the USA to the UK? There seems to be a lot of rigamarole in order to be able to do this, including having the plant parts inspected, and obtaining a phytosanitary certificate, which costs $60 on its own. Just wondering if anyone has had any recent experien...

Thank you ElieEstephane

I am considering something similar. I live in Las Vegas, NV (zone 9a), and I am looking to build a shade house, or some type of protective yet handsome structure for my potted cacti and succulents. It gets cold here in the winter, and we have extreme heat just like Phoenix. I would like to have a pl...

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been handling cacti with glochids lately, and it’s been very challenging. I try to use tongs when I can but there are just some times when you have to use your fingers.

LOL! This is actually very good information to know. Thank you. I experienced surprise also when I cut into my Moroccan Mound, euphorbia resinifera, to propagate it. I expected an ooze, you know, a slow drip of sorts, but the dang thing poured white stuff all over table! Eek! You just don’t really k...

A friend let me take cuttings from this large cactus from his backyard in Las Vegas, NV. I am new at this, and any help would be greatly appreciated 4BF10DAD-8A12-47D5-BD18-252A1676F612.jpeg 57275087-F1BD-4B4F-B8EA-4361620C53EC.jpeg DF58967F-681F-466D-8798-46DFF624AB59.jpeg 40DFFC9D-5523-403B-87B5-7...

Welcome to rhe forum Thalia! I too have given up on succulents and they always seem a bit touchy for me. Cacti will take anything you throw at them. Opuntias particularly have been very easy for me even rooting in the dead of winter. They are some of my favorite Beautiful pot btw Thank you ElieEste...
