In a solo episode, Mr Plant Geek gets Stefan Burger on the Zoom, as they discuss the wonderful world of cacti and succulents. Stefan grew up in Australia, and ended up in South America a few years back, having bought a one way ticket. He now calls Chile home, and it was really interesting to delve into the world of how cacti work; their life cycle, what the spines are really for, and more.  We also touch on the increasing problem of plants being poached in the wild, and discuss what can be done, at both a national and consumer level. It was a really stimulating chat, and I hope you enjoy it too!
