My love
for tropicals started more than a decade ago when I was delighted by
the sight of the bizarre shapes of "Euphorbia lactea cristata"
(Elkhorn Cactus). Shortly afterwards I fell in love with "Cereus
monstrosus," which I selected for its unusual shape. A few more
succulents followed and I was hooked.
Several
years later, I discovered bromeliads and the sub-family
Pitcairnioideae which includes Dyckias and Hechtias among others. They
all have a close resemblance to the succulents. And just recently I
became fascinated with the eccentric growth pattern of the Rhipsalis.

In the last few years
I have become totally obsessed with conifers.

| The
environmental requirement for each species depends upon
their native habitat. Before you buy plants, try to research
the cultural conditions and how to provide them. Select
plants that will grow in the environment you can supply. For
more cultural information, growing tips and solving
problems, I recommend to contact your local Succulent and
Cacti Society. |
