This Sunday 6/21/26 at noon at the Corralitos Grange Hall
Rare Mutations, Collector Cacti, and the Modern Cactus Market
By Andrew Hazlett, CSSSJ President, nursery owner
_________________
This talk explores the cutting edge of cactus collector demand, from rare mutations and
elite cultivars to market trends, scarcity, and shifting ideas of value.
Social media, propagation technology, and collector culture are continually reshaping the cactus hobby.
The presentation will include photos and discussion of:
*Monstrose and cristate growth forms
*Variegation and chimeras
*Famous mutants, clones, and cultivars
*Tissue culture versus graft propagation
*Poaching pressures and ethical sourcing
*Why some plants command extreme prices
*How rarity and pricing change over time.
