Mainly I specialize in African succulents and bulbs, minorly in cacti. Every now and then I get distracted and start trying new things, ending up also growing orchids (geophytes in particular), carnivorous plants, tuberous araceae, native plants, and lately terrarium plants. <\/p>\n After many vicissitudes, setbacks and false starts, Maremmacactus<\/strong> Nursery was finally born in the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n The main purpose is to offer rare plants, whether of ornamental or botanical interest, by propagating them from seed and cuttings obtained from my mother plants. In time I hope to be able to produce specimens in sufficient quantity and quality to offer an alternative to the ex-habitat and plants of dubious origin that are often found on the market. In addition, in recent years I have also decided to use my skills for the benefit of local biodiversity, devising a program of research and propagation of native species for both urban or private green projects and renaturalization, focusing especially on Mediterranean scrub species and marsh plants. <\/p>\n Medal Table<\/p><\/h3><\/div> Attendance at our events<\/p>\n<\/div> 2022 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"Gabriele](\"https:\/\/www.festadelcactus.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GabrieleSimone-portraitcut.jpg\")
<\/a>I<\/strong><\/span>attempted to grow plants since childhood, but I started with succulents only a few days after my 18th birthday. A few months later, the first sowings. After filling the balcony I was lucky enough to be housed in a real greenhouse, where it got out of hand as I got to over 1,800 species grown, almost all grown from seed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>2022<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
