🌵 Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil.

Big Surprise

We received this stunning cactus, and it looked quite calloused over so planted in dry cactus mix. A few days later we got these beautiful blooms. What a great "I'm happy to be home" moment.

Love this Cactus

Received two of these and it’s already blooming

Beautiful!

The cactus came in ready to be potted. We had blooms with in a few days of being potted.

Wow!

First time with this company and I could not be more impressed..the cuttings were packed impeccably and to my surprise one cutting is blooming! I can't wait for these to get settled into my cacti collection. Will recommend this vendor to all my cactus collectors.
