Bob Reidmuller is a lifelong, hands-on geek, beginning from a young age under the tutelage of his grandher in New Jersey. A family relocation to southern California at the age of 16 offered a plethora of horticultural and botanical experiences and rtunities. Starting a small private nursery based primarily on tropicals, such as staghorn ferns and orchids, led to several years working for Solana Orchids, a large, local producer of orchids for the cut-flower market. This path eventually led to over 25 years (and counting) working for Altman s in Vista, California, the nation’s largest wholesale producer of cactuses and succulents. With the phenomenal craze of all things succulent and being on staff as resident horticulturist there, he spends a major part of his time offering cultural information on this fascinating group to their wholesale and retail customer base nationwide.
