Considerable controversy surrounds the genus Sansevieria, which some believe should be subsumed into the genus Dracaena. Preliminary molecular work suggests that the two genera are separate, and character data reinforces this conclusion. At present, more than 100 taxa are in the genus Sansevieria and more are added with each passing year. This talk discusses the systematic of the genus and presents some newly described species as well as some potential species yet to be described in the coming years.

Program: Ernesto Sandoval: Feeding Succulents: How Fertilizer, Water pH, and Soil Can and Should Be Adjusted.
Perhaps you’ve heard that pH is important for plants. Ernesto will summarize why you want your plants to receive slightly acidic water and various ways you can adjust it for your succulents. How is this similar and different than fertilizing “regular” plants? Ernesto will discuss all of this plus the importance of “soils”/container media and the details of how you can maximize the root potential for your plants!

There are somewhere between 500 and 1000 species of succulents that can be categorized botanically as trees. They are a diverse group, coming from some 25-30 plant families and nearly 100 genera.
The presentation will begin with a characterization of succulent trees, then go into a quick overview of important families, many of which will be illustrated with habitat photographs. After a brief discussion of general growing practices, the talk will conclude with a showing of less-ordinary species that have substantial, but mostly unrecognized, horticultural potential.

Since its inception in 1929, and throughout the years, Cactus and Succulent Society of America has advocated and promoted the conservation and habitat protection of cactus and succulents.
The popularity of cacti and succulents, their availability online, and their increased monetary value have critically endangered their populations in the wild. The conservation of these unique plants and their habitats is of critical concern. Please join us as Karel Di Toit. a noted expert, explores the problems and possible solutions of poaching that affect our hobby, our community, and the global environment.
