This group facilitates discussion of the cacti and other succulents. This is a very dedicated and productive group with typically 1000 posts per month. Most members are experts or budding" experts. The majority of discussions concern cacti, but any stem and leaf succulents and pachycaul plants are fair game.
If you want to learn more about the ecology, distribution, evolution, morphology, physiology, taxonomy, and culture of these plants, then this group is for you. And if you grow from seed or want to begin growing from seed, you'll find the expertise here. We encourage members to share personal experiences as well as experimental results, data (including tabular and graphical form), analyses, photographs, maps, historical work, habitat visits, and other information. Members also exchange plants and seed. Anyone with a serious interest in the cactaceae and other succulents is warmly invited to join.
