M. senilis

The US Postal Service delayed the arrival of this plant by 24 hours. Fortunately, this plant arrived very well packed, looking healthy and robust. I’ve purchased about 5 other plants from Planet Desert and they were all in equally good condition.

Healthy

My cactus arrived two days after I ordered it. Large, healthy and great-looking! The top maybe got bumped a little so the spines are flattened, but I’m sure I can fix its hairdo.
