Echo's Cacti & Succulents Garden

WELCOME

We're a family-run nursery specialized in growing rare and hard-to-find cacti and succulents from all over the world.

​Hi, I'm Echo. I'm a Texas A&M grad (BS in Nutritional Science) and former biochem lab researcher. My husband HK brings a mix of biology, chemistry, and mechanical and chemical engineering from several universities around the world, from undergrad to grad school. Together, we rarely talk about what we learned in school—instead, we've become obsessed with desert plants, nothing like what we grew up with. We chose to live in Houston for the educational opportunities a big city offers our kids. Although the humid climate makes growing cacti and succulents challenging, it's delightful to learn and discover the potential for growing them outside their natural climate. Studying how these plants survive in the wild, then finding smart ways to help them thrive in a less-than-friendly climate, has become our favorite adventure.

In 2022, HK and I decided to turn our passion into a family business. So Echo's Cacti & Succulents Garden was born in our backyard. The nursery has my name because we registered it on my birthday—a happy coincidence. We strive to offer healthy, home-raised cacti and succulents, plus fresh seeds from our own collection. No field-collected plants. No "fresh imports." Just sustainable, low-chemical care that respects each plant's natural rhythm.

We're small. We're hands-on. And we hope you love the quality. 🌵
