Meet a 30-year Succulent & Cactus Collector & See His Stunning Rarities

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2024
  • Rich Zeh's home, landscaped garden and 960-square-foot greenhouse occupy an acre in the Phoenix community of Paradise Valley. Along interior walls of his greenhouse, in raised beds, rare plants stretch their roots and grow large and robust.
    Rich accumulated his Aladdin’s trove of rarities over three decades. The result is a collection reminiscent of a Cactus & Succulent Society show. In this video and in the gallery on my website, you'll see 50+ prime specimens, many in bloom.
    The best part, IMHO, is Rich's narration about plants he’s nurtured for decades. You'll enjoy finding out how he keeps them healthy, where they came from, and what he likes best (or considers challenging) about each.

    Some very fascinating cacti and succulents!! Interesting and beautiful cultivars being created by Japanese collectors. I’ve seen gorgeous and very expensive cultivars of Gasteria coming from Japan.
    I could have watched a much longer tour of the collection outside and in the greenhouse; just awesome!! Hope he has his collection provided for in a will!!

      Debra, can grow most things here but requires a lot dedication, especially in the winter.
      In the summer months May - October I leave all my 🌵 and Succulents out all the time and let the rain and sun ☀ take care of them.
      Only water the pots if very dry.
      We do get temperatures up to 100f as we did last year.

    I would love to see a walkthrough video of Rich's landscape. I moved from the Bay Area, CA to Phoenix, AZ August 2021. I enjoy agave the most but being in this region of the desert I will be exposed to vast amounts of cactus and will enjoy learning about them.

    • @QueenofSucculents
      @QueenofSucculents  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds good. We'll turn you into a cactus lover. And do watch for more videos of great gardens, from my trip to your area.

  • @carolbcowee1576
    @carolbcowee1576 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wonderful tour. Impressed with Debra’s pronouncing! I have a cactus that bloomed beautiful long pink blooms, was many years old and burned up when our house and garden were lost in a CA wildfire. Can I send you a photo?

    • @QueenofSucculents
      @QueenofSucculents  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Carol. That's awful about losing your home. I also live in a wildfire-prone area of Southern CA, and am happy to help any way I can. Best way to email me is through my website, debraleebaldwin.com/contact/.
      Btw, some of those names were completely unfamiliar. (Wild guesses on pronunciation, LOL.)
