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.

Dish Gardens for Mother's Day!

While WE are preparing for the show in El Paso, YOU should be considering what you will give your mother for Mother's Day. It's coming right up--Sunday, May 12--and we have just the right gift...a DISH GARDEN from Rio Grande Cacti.

These delightful little Talavera pots will contain healthy, beautiful succulents that take little care and are sure to please all those Moms who say, "Oh, I have no green thumb. I always kill plants."  Succulents need to be watered only once a week  and allowed to dry out between waterings...what could be more perfect?

Order now so you will have it in time to put on her tray for her special Mother's Day breakfast in bed. You can order from our Rio Grande Cacti website.
