Mexican Hat Cactus Nursery

VISIT US !

We started the Mexican Hat Cactus Nursery in 1968 . The nursery is located in Riverside, California. The climate in our area is warm, dry and conducive to the production of cacti and succulent plants. Each year we produce several thousand unique and unusual plants. The majority of these are propagated from our own stock plants and seed that we produce. . Collector specimens and one-of-a-kind plants similar to those shown here are regularly offered for sale. We excel at producing plants with vibrant, yet delicate flowers that must be seen to be truly appreciated. Plants with interesting textures, colors, and shapes are always available. The nursery is open by appointment only. If you would like to visit us contact us by phone at 951.687.9055 or by e-mail at Mexican Hat Cactus.

Please be aware that Mexican Hat Cactus is a specialty nursery. We sell only cactus and succulents, no bedding plants or other nuresery plants and we carry no garden supplies.

Cactus Moth alert

I was visited a couple of days ago from a Carol Kreger from APHIS/USDA. She brought me information on a potential insect, Cactoblastis cactorum, Cactus Moth, that could impact the cactus collectors and growers in the western United States.

Here is a link will take you to the informtion that she brought me regarding the identification of this insect Identification Card. According to the last sighting, it is still east of Texas but is moving in our direction. The larvae is most distinctive and therefore the easiest stage in this insect's life cycle to identify. Please take a look at the information and if you sight this potential pest let someone know where and when you saw this creature. In this day of digital/cell phone cameras a picture would help. Feel free to contact me here at www.mexicanhatcactus.com or Carol.M.Kreger@aphis.usda.gov.

Remember your vigilance could help the entire cactus and succulent community.
