Sustainable innovation: Italian terracotta, highly valued across Europe, takes center stage in the Terra collection. Hand-decorated pots ensure the perfect environment for succulents, both outdoors in summer and indoors during winter. Not just ordinary pots, but modern, functional designs, like the Graptoveria Starfire . Following the success of Mangave Praying Hands, awarded first place at last year’s IPM, Annarita Manera collaborated with Plantipp and Spanish hybridizer Succulentia to introduce this stunning new variety. Its leaves, flower petals, and rosette create a vibrant “flame” of colour.

Cactusmania by Manera is pleased to announce the arrival of unique specimens and exclusive compositions, combining design, biodiversity, and botanical allure. Once again, Annarita Manera, leveraging her extensive experience, is ready to amaze. By interpreting the needs of customers and gathering insights from retailers, practical and innovative solutions have been crafted. Drawing inspiration from the past while anticipating the future, the 2025 collection reflects emerging European trends in the world of succulents and cacti.

Rare plants and mutations: There is a growing demand for unique varieties, such as monstrous or crested cacti. To meet this need, the assortment now includes exceptional plants like the striking Lophocereus scotti cv Mostruoso, a monstrous columnar cactus perfect for true collectors, and Opuntia engelmannii cv. Boskowith, an ornamental prickly pear cactus with soft, pure white spines that make a bold visual statement.
