The 2024 CACSS & DBG Annual Show and (mini) Sale is just around the corner! In this video, one of the master growers from the CACSS, Cliff, shows us some easy tips and tricks to prepare your plant for a cactus and succulent show - some tricks that even surprised me when I first learned about them. If you are thinking about showing your plant for the first time, do not hesitate and do not feel intimidated. Remember the most important tip is to have a ton of fun.
