The New York Cactus and Succulent Society (NYCSS), established in 1956, is an affiliate member club of the Cactus & Succulent Society of America (CSSA). Our aim is to provide the best knowledge and practices for growing cactus and succulents in the climate of the Northeastern US (and in tight apartment spaces). We host in-person meetings on the third Thursday of each month, usually featuring a presentation and a plant auction. Members also regularly swap seeds, seedlings or cuttings, making it a great place to build a collection sustainably.
