OUR MISSION

Our mission is simple:

To connect the Sonoran Desert with growers, retailers, landscapers, and collectors through responsibly sourced plants and natural materials from Sonora, Mexico

Multiply, Don't Deplete

​

Through responsible harvesting, propagation, and cultivation, we can multiply these plants rather than deplete them

​

Our propagation model is based on carefully selected stem cuttings rather than uprooting mature plants, allowing us to work with the natural regenerative ability of the cactus while respecting wild populations

Working With the Desert, Not Against It

The Sonoran Desert has spent generations developing plants capable of surviving intense heat, drought, and limited water

​

Our goal is to help these plants travel farther while respecting the ecosystems from which they originate

​

Many desert cacti use CAM photosynthesis, an adaptation that allows them to exchange gases primarily during the cooler nighttime hours, helping conserve water in hot, dry environments

Our Approach

Responsible Harvesting

Our cactus materials are sourced in accordance with applicable conservation and phytosanitary requirements. Species regulated under CITES are handled with the appropriate documentation, including harvest and export permits and required plant health certifications
 

Thoughtful Propagation

We allow cuttings to cure and establish before they are cultivated into new plants.
 

Water-Efficient Cultivation

We work with the natural biology of desert plants rather than trying to recreate water-intensive growing conditions.
