Apparently they are in high demand.
Tips for a new cacti Garden or planting.
I save the packing slip and place it in a file. I also draw an outline of the new plot and where each cactus was planted. An item I regret not doing was to record the Date of planting. (If you take a photo it will have the date in the properties.)
Ten years later, I can not remember if the plant is five years old or ten years old.
I also changed the way I build plots. I used to have a rock garden with a few cacti. I have removed almost all rocks except for borders. I have redone all of my plots into flat plots(but not level plots) .
Below are before and after photos. #1 was taken 11/17/2005. Notice the tiny Rostrata yucca at the right edge of the plot. The new plot was made by removing the gravel and white walk way. Notice the seven foot Rostrata now! The other Yucca is a Banana Yucca, Yucca bacata, I think.
