Welcome to CoronaCactus.com!

 

Thank you very much for visiting our website!

 

We are a family run nursery growing plants in sunny Southern California. Corona is on the edge of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts in Riverside County, so conditions are very good for growing drought tolerant plants.

 

Most of our plants are grown in our greenhouses and shadehouses, but some live outside all year long. We take growing and caring for plants very seriously and maintain our inventory on a daily basis. We are also C&S collectors and take great care in growing the very best plant we can. We have all kinds of plants, from landscape specimens to windowsill plants. We also do our very best to research the identity of each plant and make sure the name we provide is in fact the name of the plant you buy. Taxonomy is constantly evolving, so the name may be a synonym of the current accepted name.

 

We take pride in growing the rare and unusual plants. Of course, we still grow all the favorites!

At the top of each webpage is the main menu bar. They link to everything on the site. Some sections will have additional subsections, so keep an eye out up top for additional links. Any text shown in black means that link is not accessible yet, when the text changes to the normal brown color, they become active. When you navigate to a webpage, the corresponding link in the menu bar will be in bold type for quick page referencing.

 

Links found within the body of the webpages will either be underlined, in brown or black color text or the actual web address is shown. All these are clickable links.
