United StatesBeautiful and healthy plant. Thank you so much.
United StatesStart 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.
United StatesExcellent experience all around. Beautiful cactus, careful packing and quick shipping!
United StatesProvides reflection time along with all the other little fellows.
United StatesAwesome 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!
