2011 Succulent Catalog Š2011 Altman Plants
Plant Family Info WHAT ARE THEY? Succulents include all plants that store water. They usually can be watered infrequently, the water will cause the skin to swell, and will gradually contract and shrivel as the water level inside the plant decreases over time. Succulents other than cacti are native to all continents except Antarctica. Cacti are succulent plants that are water-storing and are native to the New World: North America, South America, and Central America. GENERAL CARE Cacti and Succulents need bright lighting conditions, but not scorching sun. They need to be watered thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Allow water to flush through the soil. COMMON ISSUES When plants aren’t getting enough light, they tend to stretch toward the light source, which can lead to a leggy, unattractive plant. Not watering often enough will cause the roots to collapse and they will be unable to take up water when present. Over-watering can cause the roots to rot, thus killing the plants. If the base of the plant should become mushy, this indicates rot and the plant cannot be saved.
<< Grafted “Moon” Cactus are actually two plants grafted together. The upper, colorful cacti are born without chlorophyll, they are not green like other plants but can occur in hues of orange, yellow, pink, purple, bright ruby red or multicolored. This portion is grafted to a green Hylocereus species to provide the needed chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
Jade are members of the Crassula family. Many varieties of Jade exist, including Mini Jade with its tight, compact leaves; 'Hobbit' and 'Gollum' or "Fingers" Jade, with their elongated, tube-like leaves;' Ruby' Jade with its red-edged leaves and 'Sunset' Jade, with its yellow tricolor leaves. Pink Jade is a variety that has a sought-after rosy pink flower that blooms in November and December. >>

Plant Family Info <<Echeveria have succulent leaves that grow like petals of a rose. Colors vary from ruby-glow black, grass-green, icy blues, frosty violets or nearly iridescent pastels. Drought tolerant.
Sempervivum form clusters of geometric rosettes, some with interlaced silken hairs with the appearance of cobwebs. These plants are cold and drought tolerant. >>
<< Crested Cactus are cacti that are rare freaks of nature that occur when the growing tip multiplies and the stem begins to "go crazy", forming undulating "fan" shapes that can give the appearance of "brains". Monster Cactus >> are sometimes confused with "crested cacti" but differ in that the stem does not form fan shapes; rather the stem seems to "sprout" many new growing tips, resulting in a "bizarre" appearance. Hairy Men Cacti >> Botanists suppose that the modified spines that look like hairs have grown to create more shade for the plant, and to create surface area for moisture to collect. >>>
<< Euphorbia are the African continentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old World version of cacti. Though they resemble cacti, Euphorbias are succulents that come in a multitude of shapes. They have a white, sticky, caustic sap.

Plant Family Info << Prickly Pear are Opuntia cacti with paddles, sometimes known as beaver-tail cactus and some varieties are considered a food source by indigenous cultures.
Aloe are native to Africa and come in all sorts of colors and can grow from 2 inches to 5 feet tall. The graceful spikes of orange or reddish tubular flowers are a special treat for hummingbirds. Includes Aloe vera, known for its healing properties. >>
<<<Jungle Cactus, unlike their desert cousins, they live as epiphytes (hang on to something, not feed off of it like parasites) high in the trees of steamy jungles. String of Hearts, Sting of Pearls and Burroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tails are favorite hanging succulents >>
Mimicry So named for their ability to mimic other items in nature like stones and pebbles, these succulents would be found nearly buried with the items that they are imitating as a method of survival. >>>
<< Haworthia are named after the British botanist Adrian Hardy Haworth and are natives to South Africa.
