Gerbera is a genus of approximately 30 species from the sunflower family, Asteraceae. It was named in honour of the German botanist and naturalist Traugott Gerber. They are found in South America, Africa and tropical Asia. Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, two-lipped ray florets in yellow, orange, white, pink or red colours. The capitulum, which has the appearance of a single flower, is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers. The morphology of the flowers varies depending on their position in the capitulum. Gerbera is very popular and widely used as a decorative garden plant or as cut flowers. Gerbera contains naturally occurring coumarin derivatives. They are attractive to bees, butterflies and birds. Their soil should be kept moist but not soaked.           Gerbera jamesonii is a South African indigenous species from the Barberton area in the Northern Province is a deservedly popular garden plant throughout the world and is one of the parents of the many showy Gerbera hybrids seen in florist shops. It is a perennial herb with deeply lobed leaves covered with silky hairs arising from a crown. The striking inflorescence is borne on a long stalk and the outermost petals (ray florets) may be cream, red, orange or pink, while the central flowers (disc florets) are cream. Flowering occurs in spring and autumn. Gerbera jamesonii is found naturally in grassland in sandy, well-drained soils in Mpumalanga. A favourite of many people; they are bright, colourful, pretty flowers that make both the garden and any floral arrangement appear vibrant and alive. Growing your own at home is easy provided that you have suitable garden space. You can even grow some in a windowsill pot if wished.

Haworthia is a large genus of small succulent plants, mostly endemic to South Africa. Like Gasteria and Aloe, they are members of the family Asphodeloideae and they generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers, which are characteristic in appearance. Horticulturally they are popular rockery garden and container plants. Typically they range from 4 cm to 20 cm high, depending on the species, though the inflorescences of some species may exceed 40 cm. Solitary or clump-forming most species have firm, tough leaves, usually dark green in color, whereas others are softer and are window plants with translucent panels through which sunlight can reach internal photosynthetic tissues. Their flowers are small, white and very similar between species. But their leaves show wide variations even within one species. The charm of Haworthias is in their small size, ease of growth, and the almost infinite variation of their delightful leaves. Haworthias rarely require a pot larger than 10cm in diameter making them ideally suited for a bright windowsill. Perhaps the biggest problem you will encounter when growing Haworthias is that they tend to be addictive! Haworthia viscosa is a very attractive South African indigenous succulent with trifariously arranged leaves. The leaves are rough and have pungent tips. It is a proliferous species, which forms clumps. In nature they grow in all kinds of situations and in the garden they are happy in the shade, in the middle of the garden, or in rockery crevices exposed to full sun. Haworthia viscosa is widely distributed in the eastern, central and southern Karoo and Little Karoo and it also extends into the lower Gamtoos Valley.

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.

Parodia is a genus of flowering plants in the cactus family Cactaceae. The genus is named after the Argentine botanist Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi who lived from 1895 to 1966. Flowers in all species arise from fuzzy buds, typically with bristles, at the apex. Flowers are cup-shaped and point straight up. They are easy to grow, have intriguing stems and spines and flower easily with brightly-coloured flowers. This fact in combination with their relatively small size, ensure that nearly all cactus growers will have some representative of this group. While advanced hobbyists may grow many of the various species and subspecies.           The genus has about 50 species, many of which have been transferred from Eriocactus, Notocactus and Wigginsia. They are native to the uplands of Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay and range from small globose plants to 1 meter tall columnar cacti. All are deeply ribbed and spiny, with single flowers at or near the crown. Some species produce offsets at the base and most are free flowering, with stunning blooms throughout the year. These cacti are perfect for rockeries, where they will give your garden splashes of colour or as pot plants on a sunny windowsill. Either way you are assured of many years of joy. Parodia magnifica, formerly known as Notocactus magnificus and commonly known as Balloon Cactus originates from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It is a cactus growing to 7–15 cm tall by 45 cm broad, with heavily ribbed, spherical to columnar, spiny and hairy stems, bearing pale yellow flowers in summer. The habitat where this plant comes from can become very cold during the winter nights. Often it will fall to just above freezing without harming the plants as it is also very dry. Therefore, if you live in a frost prone area, keep this plant dry during winter. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Parodia mammulosa ssp. submammulosa is a native of North-eastern Argentina (Entre Ríos, Corrientes), western Uruguay and southern Brazil. This is a very attractive free flowering and fiercely spined species. It is easy to grow and makes a great addition to any collection. Parodia mammulosa ssp. submammulosa has many synonyms like Echinocactus mammulosus, Malacocarpus mammulosus, Notocactus mammulosus, Echinocactus orthacanthus, Malacocarpus orthacanthus, Notocactus orthacanthus, Echinocactus hypocrateriformis, Notocactus hypocrateriformis, Echinocactus submammulosus, Notocactus submammulosus, Parodia submammulosa, Echinocactus pampeanus, Notocactus pampeanus, Echinocactus floricomus, Notocactus floricomus, Notocactus roseoluteus, Notocactus eugenia, Notocactus mueller-moelleri, Notocactus cristatoides, Notocactus paulus, Notocactus megalanthus, Notocactus erythracanthus, Notocactus macambarensis and Notocactus ritterianus.  

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 gigantea is native to the arid deserts of San Luis Potosi, Guanajuato, Queretaro and Durango in Mexico. The scientific name gigantea is referring to its large size compared to other species in the genus. It can be found at altitudes of 1750 to 2400 m. They are solitary plants, growing up to 10cm high and 15 to 17 cm in diameter. the stems are blue green in colour. There are up to 12 white, needle-like radial spines up to 3 mm long and 4 to 6 yellow to brown central spines growing up to 20 mm in length. Flowers are yellowish green in colour and are followed by dull pink to greenish fruits.

Mammillaria matudae is native to Michoacán and Guerrero in Mexico. The name matudae honours botonist Eizi Matuda. Some synonyms are Mammillaria matudae duocentralis, Mammillaria matudae var. serpentiformis and Mammillaria compacticaulis. It was first described by Helia Bravo Hollis in 1956. The plants have cylindrical stems growing up to 20 cm high and 3 cm in diameter. The older the plant gets, the stems tend to lean over and start to sprawl. Clumps form at the base of these stems. There are 18 to 20 short radial spines of 3 mm long, and one central spine of 5mm long. The small reddish purple flowers are funnel shaped and are followed by red and green fruits.

The Stenocactus genus is placed in the Cactaceae family and comprises globular cacti with a characteristic wavy rib pattern, in place of straight ribs. Native to Mexico, the original genus included only about 10 species, although Hertrichocereus and Echinofossulocactus are now included in this group, expanding the number of species to about 30. It's not uncommon to see them identified only as " Stenocactus " when they're offered for sale. Besides their distinctive wavy ribs, these cacti also feature stiff and short spines. Younger plants lack the distinctive wavy ribs and have tubercles. These will develop into the typical ribs when the plant is older. Stenocactus species like bright sunlight and thrive in full sun and strong light.           Throughout the growing season (spring and summer) let the potting soil almost completely dry out between watering and then water thoroughly. In winter you should cut back watering altogether. A rich, fast-draining cactus mix is ideal. During the growing season, fertilize at half strength. Suspend feeding during the dormant winter period. These cacti are perfect for rockeries, where they will give your garden splashes of colour or as potted plants on a sunny windowsill. Either way you are assured of many years of joy. Stenocactus multicostatus for which Echinofossulocactus multicostatus is a synonym is one of the most variable Stenocactus species. Differing in spination, body shape and number of ribs they produce unusual shapes. Typically it has a variable number of ribs; typically about 50 to 100 ribs, but plants with up to 150 or more ribs have been reported. In early spring they produce gorgeous white blooms with violet to purple midveins.

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. Mammillaria rhodantha var. rubrum is a red spined variety of Mammillaria rhodantha.

Parodia is a genus of flowering plants in the cactus family Cactaceae. The genus is named after the Argentine botanist Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi who lived from 1895 to 1966. Flowers in all species arise from fuzzy buds, typically with bristles, at the apex. Flowers are cup-shaped and point straight up. They are easy to grow, have intriguing stems and spines and flower easily with brightly-coloured flowers. This fact in combination with their relatively small size, ensure that nearly all cactus growers will have some representative of this group. While advanced hobbyists may grow many of the various species and subspecies.           The genus has about 50 species, many of which have been transferred from Eriocactus, Notocactus and Wigginsia. They are native to the uplands of Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay and range from small globose plants to 1 meter tall columnar cacti. All are deeply ribbed and spiny, with single flowers at or near the crown. Some species produce offsets at the base and most are free flowering, with stunning blooms throughout the year. These cacti are perfect for rockeries, where they will give your garden splashes of colour or as pot plants on a sunny windowsill. Either way you are assured of many years of joy. Parodia erubescens is an eye-catching species with rusty red spines which was formerly known as Notocactus schlosseri and renamed in 1997 by David Hunt. It is an easy plant to cultivate and requires full sun to dappled shade, though it will flower best during spring when given at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. The stems are green and densely covered by short, stiff and erect russet to orange coloured central spines. During spring it bears beautiful green to yellow 5cm flowers.
