Crazy About Cacti
Cacti have evolved to survive in a wide range of environmental conditions. They are best known for their ability to conserve water, and are most easily recognized by their spines. Although their origins range from the high Andes to hot, dry deserts, they all adapt very well to the conditions provided in a greenhouse or home. They are excellent projects for students because they are so easy to care for and propagate.

Our technical advisors on this program were Dan Lassanske, professor of horticulture at California Polytechnic State University (see description under Hooked on Succulents, above), and Rob Skillen, a dedicated cactus collector and researcher who has traveled the world extensively to study cacti. Skillen has an enormous personal greenhouse in which he keeps and propagates thousands of cacti and succulents, many of them rare species. Mr. Skillen is well respected for his knowledge in the world of cacti horticulture, and is a board member of the The Cactus and Succulent Society of America (CSSA). One of his stated goals is to promote education, and the excellence of this video is testiment to his dedication.
