As with other desert plants, cacti and succulents are native to almost all dry, o r seasonally dry warm climates around the world. We here in Southern Florida can use varieties that are naturalised throughout the Caribbean basin. We find that a planting mixture of three parts sand to one part enriched organic decomposed plant material has proven to be the most successful. In our particular area, rains are relatively limited from NOV. through JUNE, which coincides nicely with cactus' normal season of dormancy. In our cacti garden, we also utilise a multitude of agaves.
Agaves feature many bold colourations and striping patterns.
