  • In today’s episode, I travel to Texas to do a tour of East Austin Succulents, along with my partner in crime Joey Santore of crime pays, but Botany doesn’t. We Galavant around the greenhouses at the nursery, and I even got to meet James who is responsible for bringing glorp to the trade and a hobby. Super cool to learn the origin story of that Mytrillocactus mutant. I want to thank Hector and Alejandra for bringing me out to Austin and taking me around town, they made this video possible. I was in town for the cactusc Market ATX, along with Madame Cacti, and tons of other amazing growers, ceramicists, and collectors. . I hope you enjoy today’s episode, which is full of Cactus Euphorbia, Agave, aloes, and all kind of bizarre plants showcased at East Austin Succulents. Cactusquest is an independent RUclips channel and any contributions you make whether it’s liking the video, dropping a comment subscribing to the channel becoming a Patreon member or sending a Venmo you are contributing to me being able to continue bringing you this content and doing what I do. A huge thank you to everyone who follows and supports me on my quest a very special thank you as this has enabled me to follow my passions, live out my creativity and most importantly spend much more quality time with my wife and children so thank you all.

    So happy some people have the enthusiasm I had upon discovering these jewels in 1978. Then there were a handful of propagators on the planet,we would get so excited to get a new catalog from Grigsby,pouring over it for days. I opened a retail shop in Cannon Beach,Oregon in 1980 called “Melo-Cactus, ahead of our time I guess. The people in the business said “you can’t grow these in the northwest”, too moist! I also had a mentor named Carl,who had 10 greenhouse on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, and we proved them wrong! So out there somewhere are some great specimens from our work that are now 50 to 60 years old. The thing that got me was, they are one of the only plants that are still “Evolving”, just as you saw in this video. They started as trees, now look! Love the input without pretenses,thank you.

    So glad you had a great experience ☺️🌵💚 My husband and I are out of state for a bit and I’ve been missing home so much so it was such a nice surprise to see you post a video of one of my favorite places in Austin! There was actually just an event, Cactus Market ATX, on the 11th that was supposed to be so much fun with cactus and pottery vendors and lectures. I believe it’s a yearly event. Anyway, awesome video 😊 Safe travels!

    I run the cacti and succulent category at the nursery i work at in Georgia and I remove the plastic during the warm season. The rain seems to do wonders for all the plants even the plant that most people think dont need much water like astrophytum.

    You mentioned dragon behind the glass that is a great book. I'm an avid fish keeper and it was eye opening to learn behind the scenes with them. I started watching you channel fairly recently. Living in Michigan it's not the greatest for cacti but I can watch and dream lol.

    East Austin Succulents is legit! I used to travel for business, went to Austin three times, and made sure I had at least 1-2 hours to stop by. By far not enough time but I still managed to buy plants to ship back to CA each time!
