United StatesGorgeous cactus, I'd never seen anything like this. Absolutely love it. However, I believe the one I received was infested with scale bugs (see photo) and they have since migrated to the rest of my collection. They're easy enough to get rid of, so it's not a huge deal, but still annoying.
United StatesBeautiful cactus! Wonderfully packed had no chance to get damaged. Just started my collection, ill be ordering all my cactus from here.
United StatesAwesome plant, very impressed with the packaging. Very satisfied with my entire order of 4 plants.
