Fantastic buying experience

Really wonderful plant, small but healthy (this variety runs small). I also like the soil it is planted in. A very professional nursery, and one to cherish!!

Gymnocalcium bruchii

The plants arrived in good time. Thanks for alerting me. The residents are no longer notified that a package has arrived, so it could sit down in the (mail) room until you go pick it up. A couple of days after receiving the plant, I noticed something coming up in the middle of the plant. It has one bud getting larger every day. Can’t wait to see the flower. I now have a large cactus collection and, as the old plants die off, I try to replace them with the same plant.

Clumping gymno

I got a well cared for plant as usual. This is the only clumping gymno that I know and I can't wait until it blooms its head off like all the others in my bright bathroom.
