One of its main aims is to make contact with the hundreds of other enthusiasts scattered around Cyprus, a country where a near-perfect climate exists for many of these amazing plants. The Society encourages and educates hobbyists in the cultivation and propagation of cacti and other succulents. It also creates awareness and aims to encourages research in the many endemic species and contribute to their preservation in the wild.
Furthermore it advises and encourages people to use these most rewarding, drought resistant plants in the Cyprus garden as many cacti and other succulents other than being excellent structural plants are wonderful companions to the Mediterranean xerophytes.
We are currently 170 members and our main language is Greek. We also however have an English speaking branch based in Paphos which is 40 member strong. We meet once a month. The date and location highly depends on the activity planned.
Each year we have our Annual Show and Competition which draws thousands of people. This year’s Show is on Sunday the 13th of May, 2012.
We are currently working on our web site www.ccss.org.cy.
