WELCOME TO.... the fascinating hobby of collecting and growing succulent plants.

We hope you enjoy the information provided on this web site and that you will want to add to that enjoyment by subscribing to our publication.

THE AMATEURS' DIGEST is unique in our hobby. Publishing since 1989, it is written by and for collectors of cacti, succulents and caudiciforms world wide. We share with each other a wealth of information in every issue including many photos of plants we grow. The information we have shared on caudiciforms alone, and now available in separate Caudex booklets, is invaluable to those seeking more information on that specialized subject.

The best news of all is that our Digest is easy to read and very friendly.

We publish four big issues a year (March, May, September, November) and an optional Special Edition for those who want an extra issue. You receive an average of 192 pages annually in the main four issues and another 40 to 56 pages in the special issue.

We'd love to have you join us. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.

"When you fall in love with succulents .. one plant is never enough!"
