Cactus and Succulent Mailing Lists, Forums, Blogs, Newsgroups & Chat Pages

Note: for the Yahoo Groups Links to function you will first need to obtain a Yahoo Groups ID and password.

The general list of Cactus and Succulent groups at Yahoo is now over 70. Some apparently large groups are not listed here because they are infested with SPAM messages and contain little if any genuine Cactus and Succulent content. A number of other very small lists with very low levels of activity are not included. If you run a list which is not included and you think it should be, tell me the name of the list and I will have a look.
