Stockton Cactus and Succulent Society
Have you ever wondered how to move and/or relocate… extremely large mature cactuses or succulents? This month’s speaker, Mark Muridian of Fresno, is going to show how it’s done….
This month’s meeting will be held Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. at the San Joaquin County Building.
Good stuff for the Central Valley.
Here’s our own little secret to moving big cactus: Use carpet scraps to wrap the plant. Also, if someone asks you to remove an Agave americana, just tell them no.

I have a very large cactus, about 6 foot from the bottom of the pot to the top of the plant, that I can no longer keep in my house. I am giving to to my sister as she has a bigger house and more favorable conditions for the plant. So sad to give it up. It started off as a 12 inch single shoot cactus. I have had it for about 8 years. My sister lives about 25 minutes away from me. Please help with any suggestions as the best way to transport it to her house.
