Welcome!

We're a small business in southwestern New Mexico that grows cacti and succulents from seed and cuttings. We have a wide range for sale on our website, at shows, wholesale, and by appointment. If you're curious to know what it takes to grow beautiful plants like these, you are in the right spot! We'll be posting photographs of our plants with information about their care and feeding, as well as interesting regular updates on what is happening in the greenhouses.

We made it to the Denver Botanic Gardens.  The two-day sale is going well.  We still have a good selection for you to see and would be nice to have friends drop by to visit.

We are busy getting ready for the Colorado Cactus and Succulent Society Show and Sale at the Denver Botanic Garden.  It will be March 16 and 17th, 2013.  We will have a very large selection of succulents (view other posts for photos).  We will also bring cacti that are hardy in the Denver area.  Be sure to come and see us!

Succulents as gifts

This beautiful (though foul-smelling) succulent is a Stapelia--a South African milkweed. The smell enables it to be pollinated by flies.

This is just one of the huge varieties of succulents we have available for sale. Succulents are easy to grow and provide a nice change of pace from the regular potted plants and flowers given as gifts at this time of year. Take a look at our website for more examples. It's not too early to start thinking about Easter and Mother's Day gifts!  Rio Grande Cacti
