Beautiful Cactus!

I'm new to collecting cacti, and this one caught my eye more than any other. Upon receipt, I was very impressed with the packaging of my entire order, and the color of this cactus in person blew me away. I love it!

Blue torch

Beautiful blue torch. Delivery was quick, packaged well. Love purchasing from cactus warehouse!

love Love LOVE!!!

Initially this wasn’t in stock, rooted at the size I wanted so I signed up to be emailed when it was back in. Only took a few weeks and I bought it as soon as I was notified. It arrived quick, packaged perfectly and when I opened the box the heavens opened up and played a song lol. It’s perfect in every way. It stands proudly and I love it soooo much. I still need to re-pot it into a bigger pot and add some gravel but it’s the focal point of my indoor oasis for sure.

Absolutely beautiful

If you’re wondering if you should order the anwser is yes!!!! I have ordered 3 or 4 from them and so far only one was damaged. Let’s be clear it was no fault of The cactus warehouse and they stepped up and sent me a replacement that week. The communication was unbelievable. Literally real time conversation with a human two minutes after you send the email. Great experience and I can’t wait to do more. Just waiting on the right cluster to pop up. 🌵

Love it!

So I bought the Blue Torch cactus because I love the color and it’s fuzzy! First time buyer and I will definitely be buying from cactus warehouse again! Finally found my favorite cactus store! ❤️🌵10/10!! 1000000% recommend! And Takashi is awesome with responding and very helpful!
