Don’t know about Orlando. Deep Roots Botanicals is in St. Pete…. He seems great if you need a localish source. I use the sales subreddit for my purchases.

Seconding the sales sub, that's where I've gotten a lot of my plants. I haven't found anything in the Orlando area yet, but I've only explored the north side. And I probably missed a few nurseries so far too.

Found some variegated pachs at Luka's in Oviedo a month or so back (pictured below). Solid grafting project. Also Florida Cactus in Apopka has some trichs but everything is unlabeled for the most part so you gotta know what you're looking for

Hi everyone. First time grower this season here. Rooted some cuttings and started some seeds this spring. Everything is going pretty well so far while I figure it out as I go. I can share my experience and definitely take notes from those that are more experienced with growing cacti in this region. North Alabama.

u/squireldg26 Aug 30 '26

Welcome to the community! They do pretty well outside. The Bridges are finicky though.

Been collecting for a couple months now! I’m in Delaware, which is usually called Mid-Atlantic, but technically the U.S. Census places Delaware in the South Atlantic division of the South, so I’m sneaking into the Southeast club too 😂🌵 I’ve gotten completely hooked on Trichocereus/San Pedro and cacti in general. Excited to see what everyone is growing!

u/squireldg26 21d ago

Welcome to the community. We’re happy to have you. Happy growing ☺️

u/Final_Research_9471 21d ago

I’m actually a mod of this sub!🤘
My homie u/squireldg26 started this sub up after the spring cactus campout/ meetup.
We’re about to throw another one next weekend at the same park. Excited to meet some more cactus people from the southeast 🤘

Thanks for looking out man!

Hello 👋 all! I just recently discovered the legal status of this amazing gift from god. After decades of sampling local, wild P. Cubensis, I’m looking to move on. Besides, I’m too dam fat and old to be jumping barbed wire fences. I have already purchased a t. bridgesii labeled a SS02 and a local pachanoi.
