Soil may get on plants and in box
May
have marks or scares as shown in pictures, I did not see any. I do
not accept returns or make refunds. If item is defective on arrival, send pictures
and I will make it good and adjustments can be made. Will be shipped almost bare root. I prefer PayPal which gives you
warranty for money back. Water only when dry. I use a good blooming
fertilizer for best blooms. Plants are about 2" wide and 5"
tall. Shown in cell packs. You get the ones in the picture.This
is at least 2 years old. On this order you get a free Totem Pole
cactus and maybe some others. Please do not order, unless you intend to keep it. Any extra postage will be refunded.
This
plant is quite easy to grow, as long as you know a bit about
cacti. If you grow these cacti in heavy shade they don't
do well. It will elongate and will soon rot. I use a minnow seine
to shield from evening sun. I let the plants get to outside
temperature in the summer. So they can take a lot of heat! They can
take winter temperatures way below freezing, if kept dry. Mine have went down to10 degrees F, but I do not recommend it.
They flower vigorously in the spring and summer. Winter over in a building with some light for best results. I don’t water my plants from around November until they start to grow in the spring about March. Over winter in a building with some light.
They
grow well in any cactus mix. I plant in peat moss, perlite and big
grained sand or other type of media that does not absorb water. Equal
amounts. They do not like to stay wet and will rot. Under watering
does not hurt it. Very loose fast draining soil is required. If soil
is not loose enough add more perlite. The plant is adapted to bright
sun in central Texas. However, shade it lightly for a week after
receiving it. I would add a little horticulture lime to the soil.
I grow all my own plants. If you have questions about growing them, please do not hesitate to ask.
