  • Catching up with one half of the duo that runs mesagarden.com ‪@mesagarden2285‬ a truly legendary cactus and succulent seed business. I hesitate to use the word rare as it conjures eBay price gougers and internet hucksters profiting off of plants however in this particular case that really accurately describes the type of plants that they deal with here at Mesa Garden. The hardest to find and most peculiar plants are what they grow, I hope you enjoy this peek behind the veil so to speak. I had such great time working on this project and want to thank the entire Mesa crew as well as a huge thank you to the Los Angeles Cactus & Succulent Society for sponsoring this episode. Make sure to go check out the links below for plant and seed shop.

    As a tip, this is an interview video, you have to interview the person, the person has to talk at least 70% - 80% of the video...

    I bought seeds from Steven a few times, first being in 2008.
    Some ariocarpus varieties and other stuff. Best purchase ever. I have almost all the varieties surviving with me. I have the hand written category numbered envelopes and packing to this date. Have done that a few times since. It's wonderful work selling dreams to people who love to have these.
    Very very good videos

    I discovered Mesa Gardens watching your videos. Have an order I expect any day. I have had really good germination with the seeds from Mesa, far less than some other sellers.
    I would like if they dumb down the plants for people like me. Flunkies who like cactus. I often don't know the names of cactus and jump from site A back to Mesa to match name to photos. Right now I am getting into grafting... So gotta plant more seeds

    16:22 nice stock footage of "bugs".
    That's interesting that they send a lot of these seeds overseas. I was surprised to hear that. The niche that cactus fill in the environment is probably unsatisfied in Asia. That's my theory, anyway. I like the idea of cultural exchange, and that includes plants and animals as well as ideas and products.

    • @coltonp7149
      @coltonp7149 Рік тому

      Yeah, no. Let’s not exchange plant seeds to other countries, if we know they have potential to be invasive. So many invasive species are destroying natural areas because of ecological ignorance. Unfortunately, this could never be regulated properly & people are generally too stupid to understand the ramifications of ecological collapse. Plant natives, y’all.
