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.

Cactus Propagation ClassOnce again we are privileged to teach a class on cacti and succulent propagation for the University of California at Riverside Extension on June 18 and 19, 2010. The UCR extension web site has a full description of the class. Due to time and space limitations the number of students I can accommodate is limited to 15. The class is usually full so if you are interested I suggest that you enroll early.
Briefly the class consists of two sessions and both sessions are equally important. The first session is held at the UCR extension center on Friday evening. The second session is the next day, Saturday morning, at my nursery. It is a "hands on" teaching/learning experience. Come prepared to get your hands dirty. Everyone will be outside in the nursery doing things so dress accordingly. Please wear shoes! Sandals will not protect your feet against cactus thorns!
If you are interested in cactus and succulents be prepared to have a great time.
Go here to be notified when the classo opens for registration. The class is titled Growing and Propagating Cacti and Succulents. |

A comment that we often hear from the visitors at our nursery is "You have a great Web site and a great nursery. Too bad that they don't match." So in the near future you will see a number if pictures of our nursery so that the two entities will be more similar. Please be aware that the images will usually contain flowering plants that may or may not be in bloom when you visit. Enjoy! Harvey
It works for me: Flower ColorOnce again we are at the height of the cactus spring flush (bloom period). Again the same questions and comments come to us regarding flower color and another reason that we don’t sell on the Net. So let’s talk a bit about color. To illustrate my point I am going to use the Echinopsis hybrids as a typical example of what you see and what really is. As most cacti collectors are aware the echinopsis hybrid family of cacti has a very broad spectrum of flower colors. read the entire article here
