| September 17 | Note date change for this meeting. Join us at the residence of fellow member Brenda Rivera, 211 East 18th Street, NYC, Apt. 6B, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. By subway, you can take the 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, and W to Union Square (14th Street), or the L to 3rd Avenue (14th Street). Brenda will give us a presentation on growing succulents in low-light conditions, using examples from her collection of growing plants in north and east windows. This invitation, at Brenda’s request, is also being extended to the Indoor Gardening Society, the Bromeliad Society, the Begonia Society, and the Gloxinia and Gesneriad Society. This sounds like a really good meeting, so we look forward to seeing you all there. |

| January 21 | Dr. Ivan Black will give us a presentation on Rebutia and Sulcorebutia plants, a very popular group of plants that flower easily and require minimal care and space. Ivan will have some plants on hand and will discuss care and cultivation. |
| February 18 | George Cambourakis will give us a presentation on “Winterizing our indoor cacti and succulents”. This presentation was to have been given back in October 2009 but, as you may recall, the October meeting was cancelled due to inclement weather and confusion over the new meeting space and date. Although it is now February, our plants still need winter care. And judging by how our winter is going so far, it may not be warm enough until July. This presentation will cover all the different heat, light, air, and water requirements that each genus requires during their dormant period, pest and insect control, and past experiences, both good and bad, during this sensitive dormant period of the plant's life cycle. |
