Cacti and Succulents thrive in desert locations all over the world. Growing them in New England can pose quite a few problems for these arid loving plants. In this October 30 Tower Hill Botanic Garden class we will discuss the ways that we can help our cacti and succulents acclimate to living in the northeast. Too much water, not enough sun, too organic soil, these are all big problems for cacti and succulents. But, with the right horticultural knowledge they can all be easily solved. We’ll also go over propagation, containers, where to buy, and local resources for all things cacti and succulent related. Feel free to bring any plants that you have questions about as well.
