A tale of Succulents to Invasive Species! While my experience with stand-alone Nurseries is generally limited as opposed to "hybrid" places that combine Hardware &/or Farm Supplies shops [or even Big Box stores like HD], this cute place is one of my favorite places to stop once in a while. The owner and workers are friendly and knowledgeable. The owner even provided a cautionary tale of his ongoing issues with a certain invasive bedding plant that seems to be everywhere on the grounds. In any case, whenever I am on the hunt for more succulents to add to my collection or even for advice on them, the owner here is super-nice. While I somehow always overthink succulent care, he is one of the few people who know how to set me straight with practical advice. The proof is that he practices what he preaches: to take small pieces of some succulents and throw them into the space in another potted plant. While not a sure thing, it seems to work well for him at least. Using some of that advice, some of the cuttings I have tried to root over time have finally developed roots and even flowered over months, not weeks. It sometimes seems like "magic". If there is one sure Kryptonite for most succulents is over-watering or even excess moisture. Cuttings, pups, and leaves need to be left to callous over before watering. Fungus growth can be an issue, or even kill anything placed in the soil right away...with a few exceptions [like some elongated Echeveria fallen stems that we directly placed into the ground]. Succulents are just a weird bunch of plants that are extremely diverse. Many actually came from South Africa and many of the coast plants that one sees on the Central Coast Beaches and along the 101 are actually invasive Ice Plants...which are succulents as well. While you rarely may or may not get a hefty fine for picking a California Poppy growing like a weed in some parks, picking an invasive Ice Plant is typically not such a big deal. Ironically, even though there are projects to remove invasive species from beaches or coastal areas, Ice Plants are still sold in plant stores. Of course, some plants can & will invade one's garden, and even at Cherry Lane, they have a problem with another invasive bedding plant as well...which grows all over the place. As far as IcePlants go the reason that they were introduced in California in the first place was to help stabilize the vast tracks of railroad area soil with the plants. Unfortunately, they did little to help and then went on to invade most California Beaches, most Coastal areas, along vast areas of 101 freeway and the exits and entrances, and even many nature preserves at least along the CA Central Coast. They can become quite dense in some areas and some varieties are even edible thus one can see rabbits populate some coastal succulent-filled areas. Speaking of edible invasive plants one can find in California, quite oddly from a former NYer perspective is seeing common Fennel growing wild. Please try not to pick it since one rare butterfly needs them. Here are some references:

Good nursery, but, their prices for plants are a tad high. I believe they purchase plants from Monrovia which is a high end wholesaler. The quality of the plants are good! If you have a question about a plant, such as the care and feeding, you can get good advice there. I take a picture on my phone and bring leaves, if appropriate.

Stopped by to have a look and found this nursery to be very well stocked with a variety of indoor and outdoor plants that are appropriate for our beach climate. The owners are so friendly and very happy to help answer questions of assist with your landscaping project! They had a great variety of planters and colorful outdoor large decorative pots as well as garden items, including potting soils and fertilizers. I found a sweet African violet and a very cool pot for it- made a great housewarming gift for a friend. Will be back!!
