United StatesI love my little Neo
Quite possibly my new favorite cactus of all my other cacti
United StatesLove it!
Very satisfied with this product. Came quickly and in good condition.
United StatesAnother great addition!
Awesome addition to my collection, one of my new favorites instantly. It has lost some of its purple coloration since arriving, but overall I love it!
United StatesExcellent Service, packaging and product
Provides reflection time along with all the other little fellows.
United StatesGreat purchase and stunning looks
Start with the beautiful purple color on top which fades into a slight darker shade toward the root neck. The areoles are white which make the black spines stand out even more! The item was packed well and I'm impressed by the soil and top dressing it comes with. The only downside might be the size. The width is larger than the diameter of a quarter. The height is a standing quarter. Over all a winner. I look forward to see it flourish.
