Mammillaria is arguably the most popular cactus genus in cultivation. Mammillarias have extremely variable spination from species to species, and eye-catching flowers, making them specifically attractive for cactus hobbyists. Most Mammillaria plants are considered easy to cultivate. The genus Mammillaria is one of the largest in the Cactaceae family, with currently over 200 known species and varieties recognized. Mammillarias are native to Mexico, southwest USA, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Honduras. The first was described by Carolus Linnaeus as Cactus mammillaris in 1753, deriving its name from Latin mammilla, "nipple", referring to the tubercles that are one of the plant's specific features.           In 1812, the cactus specialist Adrian Haworth described the genus Mammillaria to contain this and related species. Numerous species are commonly known as nipple cactus, fishhook cactus or pincushion though such terms may also be used for related taxa such as Escobaria. Mammillaria species can be grown as pot plants and make interesting features on a sunny veranda or windowsill. They also make an attractive addition to a rockery or water-wise garden. The variation in spines is a novel selling feature and often, these plants fit the stereotypical expectations that most people have for a cactus plant, although some species are only going to be found among highly-dedicated cactus growers. The popularity of this genus has led to a good deal of study and consequent literature on both growing and identifying Mammillaria species. Mammillaria compressa commonly known as Mother of Hundreds is an easily clustering and easily flowered species. It is one of the largest of all the Mammillarias. Most plants will offset readily, and huge clumps can be produced in a very few years. It is a fast growing species which requires regular irrigation in summer but should be left to go dry between watering. For best results use a pot with good drainage and a very porous growing media. Keep it dry in winter and feed with a high potassium fertilizer in summer. It is quite frost resistant if kept dry, hardy as low as -12°C. Outdoors in the garden it thrives on full sun or afternoon shade, inside it needs bright light, and some direct sun. This is an easily clustering and easily flowered species. Most plants will offset readily, and clumps can be produced in a few years.

Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the agave family, Agavaceae. Its 40-50 species are notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal panicles of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry (arid) parts of North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Yucca brevifolia, the Joshua Tree is a typical species of the Mojave Desert in California, Arizona, Nevada and northwards to Utah. The species name brevifolia comes from the Latin for short leafed. The tallest trees reach about 15 meters tall. Yucca brevifolia is great for a bird garden and a butterfly garden.           The trunk of a Joshua tree is made of thousands of small fibres. Older plants form a sturdy trunk that supports many crowns with typical spikey leaves. Yucca brevifolia 's foliage colour is green, evergreen. The rigid leaves are linear, bayonet-shaped, 40cm long and 2.5cm wide, tapering to a sharp point; they are borne in a dense spiral arrangement at the apex of the stems. The Joshua tree blooms in early spring. The nodding panicles are 50cm long, bearing 7.5cm greenish-white flowers with six tepals. Joshua trees usually do not branch until after they bloom and they don't bloom every year. Like most desert plants, their blooming is dependent on rainfall at the proper time. They also need a winter freeze before they will bloom. The fruit is a light brown to reddish capsule, 6 to 12cm long, 5cm in diameter; it dries and falls soon after maturity in late spring. The fruit is edible. Hardiness zones 7-10, (1°C/35°F, -15°C/5°F) in winter. The Joshua tree is very cold hardy and takes severe freezes with ease but, being a true plant of the desert, it prefers drier climates and is difficult to keep alive in cool, wet conditions. Extremely heat tolerant. They need sun, perfect drainage and little summer water.

Mammillaria is arguably the most popular cactus genus in cultivation. Mammillarias have extremely variable spination from species to species, and eye-catching flowers, making them specifically attractive for cactus hobbyists. Most Mammillaria plants are considered easy to cultivate. The genus Mammillaria is one of the largest in the Cactaceae family, with currently over 200 known species and varieties recognized. Mammillarias are native to Mexico, southwest USA, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Honduras. The first was described by Carolus Linnaeus as Cactus mammillaris in 1753, deriving its name from Latin mammilla, "nipple", referring to the tubercles that are one of the plant's specific features.           In 1812, the cactus specialist Adrian Haworth described the genus Mammillaria to contain this and related species. Numerous species are commonly known as nipple cactus, fishhook cactus or pincushion though such terms may also be used for related taxa such as Escobaria. Mam can be grown as pot plants and make interesting features on a sunny veranda or windowsill. They also make an attractive addition to a rockery or water-wise garden. The variation in spines is a novel selling feature and often, these plants fit the stereotypical expectations that most people have for a cactus plant, although some species are only going to be found among highly-dedicated cactus growers. The popularity of this genus has led to a good deal of study and consequent literature on both growing and identifying Mammillaria species. Mammillaria rhodantha, more commonly known as the Rainbow Pincushion, was first described by Link & Otto in 1829. Synonyms include Mammillaria droegeana, Mammillaria fuscata, Mammillaria rhodantha var. droegeana, Mammillaria calacantha, Mammillaria pringlei, Mammillaria bonavitii, Cactus rhodanthus and Neomammillaria rhodantha. This species can be solitary or grow in clumps. The globose to cylindrical stems are dark green in colour and grow up to 30 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter. The purple to red flowers occur from spring, right through summer and into autumn. This species can endure temperatures of down to -4°C.

Stenocereus is an easy to grow genus comprised of predominantly large, shrubby or tree-like columnar cacti. It is widespread from the Southern United States, throughout Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and into Northern South America. The genus name is derived from the Greek word “ stenos ” which means narrow and the Latin word “ cereus ” which means candle. The genus has been enlarged by the addition of species from several other genera. A close relative is the peculiar chinoa or chende cactus, Polaskia chende. Stenocereus species mostly flower at night and are pollinated by moths and bats.            Some species, like Stenocereus martinezii, Stenocereus pruinosus and Sterberi bear delicious and refreshingly edible fruit similar to that of the Dragon Fruit Cactus, Hylocereus. They make excellent rockery plants and can also be grown in large pots. Stenocereus species are easy to grow and cold resistant to as low as -4°C, but only for short periods. Stenocereus martinezii commonly known as Pitahayo or Pitayo is a tree-like cactus from Mexico’s Sinaloa area, around Mazatlan. It grows up to 5 m in height. The stems have 9 ribs which are covered in areoles of 1 cm in diameter from which arise 3 central spines with the upper one up to 5 cm long and the lower ones about 5 mm long. Around those they have 7-11 short black lateral spines. From late spring to early summer it bears whitish pink nocturnal flowers which are followed by edible fruit. Synonyms for Stenocereus martinezii include Lemaireocereus martinezii and Rathbunia martinezii.

Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the agave family, Agavaceae. Its 40-50 species are notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal panicles of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry (arid) parts of North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Yucca brevifolia, the Joshua Tree is a typical species of the Mojave Desert in California, Arizona, Nevada and northwards to Utah. The species name brevifolia comes from the Latin for short leafed. The tallest trees reach about 15 meters tall. Yucca brevifolia is great for a bird garden and a.           The trunk of a Joshua tree is made of thousands of small fibres.

The rigid leaves are linear, bayonet-shaped, 40cm long and 2.5cm wide, tapering to a sharp point; they are borne in a dense spiral arrangement at the apex of the stems. The Joshua tree blooms in early spring. The nodding panicles are 50cm long, bearing 7.5cm greenish-white flowers with six tepals. Joshua trees usually do not branch until after they bloom and they don't bloom every year. Like most desert plants, their blooming is dependent on rainfall at the proper time. They also need a winter freeze before they will bloom. The fruit is a light brown to reddish capsule, 6 to 12cm long, 5cm in diameter; it dries and falls soon after maturity in late spring. The fruit is edible. Hardiness zones 7-10, (1°C/35°F, -15°C/5°F) in winter. The Joshua tree is very cold hardy and takes severe freezes with ease but, being a true plant of the desert, it prefers drier climates and is difficult to keep alive in cool, wet conditions.
