Quad of cactus

I was very happy with the cacti I purchased. So much care in the packaging! Of course I’d like a larger E. Obesa but with careful nurturing this little guy will grow. Marian

Euphorbia Obessa Hybrid

It’s cute but small. I really bought this for a large windowbox planter in the retirement home where I reside. But, due to the cold weather and where the box sits, I will hold it in my apartment until spring. Thank you for sending this and the other plants in the order so quickly. I also have a rather large collection of cactus plants and some succulents. I enjoy doing business with you. Happy holidays.
