|
|
SuccSeed offer seeds of cacti and
other succulents and is specialized in south american genera.
In our small greenhouse we grow many hundred species of Lobivia
and Rebutia which are carefully pollinated by hand. Most of the
material have a fieldnumber and/or locality data. We try to pollinate
as much as we can, to be able to offer the seeds to other growers
around the world. |
Due to a close cooperation with specialist
growers all over the world we can offer you many species which
never have been possible to obtain before.
SuccSeed can offer over
350 Rebutia and 200 Lobivia, there are over 100 Eriosyce, many Gymnocalycium
and Echinopsis. These Andean plants are highly recommended for all
growers: They stay rather small, they are extremely variable in body,
spination and flower colour and are easy to grow. They can also resist
low temperatures during winter and flower easily. They have been
our favourites for many years and so will. For those who prefer other
succulents, we also offer Lithops - 'living stones', Conophytum, Faucaria,
and many other interesting genera. If you as a beginner find it difficult
to decide what to order - let us help you!
For
our nordic customers in special, we also offer books, square pots,
soil mixtures, labels, fertilizers and much more. If you as a
beginner find it difficult to decide what to order - let us help you!
About Mats Winberg ...
I
have been growing cacti for nearly 20 years. Very early I focused
on the south In 1986 I made my first trip to Argentina, were I hiked
with a rucksack on my back for six weeks. In 1988 I returned and stayed
for five cold weeks in the provinces Salta and Jujuy, concentrating
my search for Lobivia and Rebutia on Quebrada del Toro and the remote
area around Valle Grande. A few years later, in 1990, I made my longest
trip; two weeks alone to cover Valle Grande, Santa Ana and Caspalá,
four weeks with my friend Mats Hjertson and after this, four weeks
with my wife Karin in the provinces Tucuman, Salta and Jujuy. Karin
and I returned in 1993, for a hiking trip around the beautiful little
village Iruya. Many nice plants were found and we were able to bring
a lot of nice slides and some seed back to Sweden.
