About this site

This site has been created as a resource for all those interested in collecting, growing, propagating and the conservation of cacti and other succulent plants. Almost all the articles included in this website are in Russian, nevertheless English-speaking visitors may have a look at the plants from my collection and read two articles in English:

• A new conspectus of the Genus Coryphantha
• Adam Gottleib «Peyote and other psychoactive cacti» (zip)
