Let’s explore lesser-known species\, their extreme survival strategies\, and how they quietly outperform many popular landscape plants. Through field observations\, design insight\, and a few surprising stories\, we’ll uncover why these “under-the-radar” plants deserve a much bigger role in both collections and Texas landscapes. \n\n10:25–10:45 AM\nPlant Swap • Educational Booths • Vendor Marketplace \n\n\n \n10:45–11:20 AM\nPropagation: Big & Small\n \nTaught by Payge Stevens (@mycactusbadmycactushood)Owner of Cactus Queen DFW \nAfter learning about how you can propagate cactus and succulents in 2018\, I kept finding most people would only propagate small pieces. I decided to try larger 4–6 foot cuttings\, and it worked! Since then\, I’ve propagated easily over 8\,000 individual pieces of cactus ranging from 6 inches to 13 feet tall. I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t over the years and would love to share it with you! \n\n11:30 AM–12:15 PM\nLunch Break • Plant Swap • Educational Booths • Vendor Marketplace \n\n12:15–12:50 PM\nUnlocking the Secrets of Stunning Succulents: Intermediate Succulent Care\n \nTaught by Nolan Bishop (@legacycactus)President of the Fort Worth Cactus & Succulent Society and owner of Legacy Cactus \nReady to take your succulents to the next level?
