What to expect in the box

After arrival

  • Unpack immediately and check soil moisture.
  • Let plants settle in bright shade for 24-48 hours.
  • Gradually move into full sun over 5-7 days.

Cacti can look slightly dull after a few days in a dark box. Color returns within a week or two of bright light. If your area drops below 40F, we recommend adding a heat pack to your order, as one is not automatically included.

2" Lemon Ball Cactus (Parodia leninghausii)

The Lemon Ball Cactus starts as a bright golden globe and slowly grows into a short column packed with soft yellow spines. Warm, sunny color and a tidy shape make it a favorite for groupings and modern plantings. Every plant we ship is fully rooted in a 2" nursery pot and ready to plant the day it arrives.

Pick your pack size

Lemon Balls glow brightest in groups, and the price per plant drops as your pack grows. A single or 3-pack is perfect for pots and small beds. 6 and 9-packs fill borders and rock gardens fast. The full 64-pack tray is the best per-plant value we offer and the go-to choice for landscapers and large projects, at just $3.11 per plant.

Heads up: additional discount codes do not apply to the 64-Pack (Full Tray) tier.

  • Bright golden color: Adds warmth and contrast to any planting space
  • Columnar over time: Grows taller for vertical interest
  • Uniform nursery stock: Consistent size and structure across every pack
  • Low maintenance: Drought tolerant and beginner friendly
