Cactus & Succulent Lover Hats

Cactus and succulent people are an organized lot. The Cactus & Succulent Society of America was founded in Pasadena in 1929 and now counts more than 80 affiliate clubs across the US. On Reddit, r/succulents has roughly 681,000 members, and r/SuccShaming had nearly 10,000 by July 2020, a community of frustrated plant parents venting about finicky plants that were supposed to be easy. Succulents are reputed to be hard to kill, and the Instagram versions are often kept inches from grow lights, so plenty of people feel they failed by losing one. These cactus and succulent hats cover both sides of that. The badges, CACTUS COLLECTOR, CACTUS DAD and SUCCULENT MAMA, name the hobby. The sentence designs carry the humor: prickliness as a personality, free cactus hugs, and the dubious gift of being able to kill any succulent. SUCC IT UP and WHAT THE FUCCULENT are puns already sold as tees on Walmart, while cactus hats on the market are mostly pictorial art, so a hat that simply says the pun is thin ground. WHAT THE FUCCULENT and the killer-of-succulents line each get a second colorway here. This is the cactus collector's page, not the general houseplant one: Plant Parent Hats covers houseplants broadly, while this one is for spines, gritty soil and the windowsill that was supposed to be unkillable. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for yourself, or for the friend whose succulents keep dying politely.
