Seeds and All offer you a Premium Cactus Mix, selected from a large variety of species. The seeds are easy to germinate and growing them requires very little effort. Most make excellent potted plants, do very well in raised beds and rockeries and make fascinating landscaping features. They require well-drained sandy to gravel soil to perform at their best.  Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Some grow to great size. Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species are night-blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally moths and bats. Cacti range from small and round to pole-like and tall, such as the Saguaro.           Cacti are distinctive and unusual plants which have adapted to extreme arid environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which conserve water. Their stems have expanded into green succulent structures containing the clorophyll necessary for life and growth, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are so well known. Cacti are believed to have evolved in the last 30 to 40 million years. Long ago, the Americas were joined to the other continents, but separated due to continental drift. Unique species in the New World must have developed after the continents had moved apart. Significant distance between the continents was only achieved in around the last 50 million years. This may explain why cacti are so rare in Africa; the continents had already separated when cacti evolved. Many succulent plants in both the Old and New World bear a striking resemblance to cacti, and are often called "cactus" in common usage. This is, however, due to parallel evolution; none of these are closely related to the Cactaceae.

Echinocactus is a genus of 6 species in the Cactaceae family native to south western United States and Mexico. The generic name comes from the Greek word echinos, meaning 'spiny', and cactus. Together with Ferocactus, they are the two genera of barrel cactus. The species in this genus have some noticeably distinguishable features, such as large spines, well defined ribs, an overall barrel shape with relatively small, yellow or pink flowers being borne out of an area at the apex of the plant that is covered in a dense fuzzy wool, followed by woolly, fleshy or dry fruits. Propagation is by seed.           The most well known, easily grown and widely cultivated species, Echinocactus grusonii, or Golden Barrel cactus, is nearly extinct in the wild and only occurs in a very small area, which contrasts from the rest of the genus in that the rest of the genus are more widespread and less common in cultivation. Echinocactus polycephalus for example, is notoriously difficult to grow. Echinocactus species can be grown as pot plants and make interesting features on a sunny veranda. They also make an attractive addition to a rockery or water-wise garden. Echinocactus grusonii is probably one of the best known species of cactus and is widely cultivated. Sadly it is almost extinct in nature occurring only in a small area in central Mexico from San Luis Potosi to Hidalgo. Common Names include, Golden Barrel Cactus, Golden Ball or, amusingly, Mother-in-Law's Cushion. This species should not be confused with Notocactus leninghausii which have fuzzy, harmless spines and is also called Golden Ball. As the common name suggests, they are round, spherical, or barrel shaped. They have many well defined ribs lined with large sharp spines which are yellow to white in colour. Younger plants do not resemble older plants in that the ribs are not noticeable and look more like knobs in younger plants. When plants are about 20 years old, they will start to produce small yellow flowers from the fluffy crown. Cultivation is best done from seed and they are considered to be easy to grow. The plants are also relatively fast growing in cactus terms. It is a popular architectural plant in garden design and is used widely in landscaping. They should be watered very sparingly in winter and must not be allowed to sit in wet soil, otherwise they will rot. As with most cacti they require a well drained sandy soil to grow in.  

Polaskia is a genus of two tree -like cactus species, placed in the Cactaceae family. It is named after the American amateur botanist, Charles Polaski. Both species grows to 5 meters in height. Both present primitive characteristics, but Polaskia chichipe is nearer to Myrtillocactus while Polaskia chende is nearer to Stenocereus. The genus is found in the Southern Mexican states of Puebla and Oaxaca. They are columnar cacti which branches as it ages with many branches on a short trunk. Stems are ribbed with fairly shallow spaces between ribs. Areoles are spaced 2 or 3 cm apart along the ribs. Spines are short and stout, numbering 8-10 radials and one central. Spines may not be present at all - especially on mature plants.  Flowers are widely-opened cups of pinkish white or yellow-green - with or without spines. The fruits are small fleshy berries. They are considered fairly easy to grow and germinate freely from seed. These cacti are perfect for rockeries, where they will give your garden structural height or as potted plants on a sunny patio. Either way you are assured of many years of joy. Polaskia chichipe is a columnar cactus, cultivated for its edible fruits known as Chichituna, Chichipe or Chichibe. It is also grown for its valuable branches which, when dried make excellent fuel wood. Plants under cultivation have larger and sweeter fruits and a much longer period of fruit production. The flowers are self-compatible so you would only need one plant for it to produce fruits. Polaskia chichipe is a columnar tree-like cactus with many curved branches, up to 5 m tall. It has a few taxonomic synonyms including Cereus chichipe, Lemaireocereus chichipe, Myrillocactus chichipe, Cereus mixtecensis and Lemaireocereus mixtecensis. Give it good drainage and use open and free draining mineral compost that allows the roots to breath. They like only a short winter's rest and should be kept almost completely dry during the winter months.  If the soil is allowed to be dry for too long root loss could occur but equally the same result would transpire if the plants are both wet and cold. From spring onwards the plant will begin to grow and watering should be increased gradually until late spring when the plant should be in full growth.

Ferocactus is a genus of large barrel-shaped cacti, mostly with large spines and small flowers. There are about 30 species included in the genus. This member of the Cactaceae family is found in the south-western United States and north-western Mexico. The young specimens are columnar but as they grow older ribs form and they take on a barrel form. Most of the species are solitary but some, such as Ferocactus robustus and Ferocactus glaucescens, form clumps. The typical habitat is hot and very arid, and the plants have adapted to exploit water movement to concentrate their biomass in areas where water is likely to be present.           Like Sclerocactus, Ferocactus typically grow in areas where water flows irregularly or depressions where water can accumulate for short periods of time. They are most often found growing along arroyos (washes) where their seeds have been subjected to scarification due to water movement, but they oddly also tend to grow along ridges in spots where depressions have formed and can hold water for some period of time. Ferocactus have very shallow root systems and are easily uprooted during flash floods. The "fishhook" spines and the armoured web of spines enclosing the cactus body in many species of this genus are adaptations which allow the plant to move to more favourable locations. In cultivation Ferocactus require full sun, little water, and good drainage. They are popular as indoor houseplants providing they receive a few hours of sunlight a day. They are well suited for growing in pots and rockeries. Propagation is usually from seeds as most do not produce off-sets. Ferocactus stainessii commonly known as Mexican Fire Barrel Cactus or just Fire Barrel is widespread in north-central Mexico’s Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi, Coahuila and Zacatecas regions. For this very reason it is somewhat variable in appearance, depending on its locality. Ferocactus stainessii is a simple or clumping barrel/columnar cactus with thick red spines. Most plants have bright red spines with bristle like, white radials—a wonderful contrast, but in some populations the white bristles are occasionally absent.

Echinopsis which is placed in the Cactaceae family, is a large genus of 128 species of cacti which grow naturally in the South American countries of Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay. They grow in sandy or gravel soils on hillsides and in rocky crevices. They range in size from large tree like species, to small species such as Echinopsis chamaecereus, the peanut cactus.            Some common names include hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus and Easter lily cactus. Due to the large number or species, and large number of variations, it has made classification of species in this genus very difficult. This has resulted in a large number of synonyms for Echinopsis, most of which used to be considered separate genera, but are now included in the genus Echinopsis. All these synonyms are still widely used by collectors and enthusiasts and there is much debate and controversy as to the correct classification. The name comes from the Greek word echinos meaning 'spiny', 'hedgehog' or 'sea urchin', and opsis meaning 'likeness' or looks like. Echinopsis can be grown as pot plants and make interesting features on a sunny veranda. They also make an attractive addition to a rockery or water-wise garden.  Echinopsis terscheckii, commonly known as the Cardon Grande Cactus or Argentine Saguaro, is a large cactus native to South America and popular in cultivation. It is a columnar, branching cactus that can grow over 7.6 metres tall. Its branches are about 25 cm in diameter with 8 to 14 ribs. It has large brownish areoles about 2.5 cm apart with 8 to 15 yellowish spines, 8.3–10 cm long. The nocturnal white flowers can grow up to 20 cm long and 13–15 cm wide. The round or oblong blue fruits are about 1.3 cm in diameter and contain black, oval seeds approximately 0.76 mm long. It is native to Catamarca Province in northwest Argentina and to the western slopes of the Andes in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador.

The Weberbauerocereus genus, which is placed in the Cactaceae family, is named in honor of August Weberbauer - a researcher in the Peruvian Andes. Like many of the large columnar or tree -like cacti, the genus Weberbauerocereus is seldom cultivated and has seen little attention from researchers. As a result the future use of the name may be changed. Weberbauerocereus is a genus of ceroid cactus, considered to be intermediate between the genera Echinopsis and Cleistocactus. Native to Peru and northern Chile, the plants have fairly large, columnar stems that are either shrubby or may contain a distinct trunk.           Stems have numerous shallow ribs that are somewhat tuberculate with prominent woolly areoles. Spines are numerous and stout. Flowers are funnel-shaped and white or reddish. Floral tubes with scales and hairs. Weberbauerocereus johnsonii is a beautiful cactus. Few cacti have such persistently brilliant yellow spines, especially magnificent when backlit, as does this columnar beauty discovered in 1951 by famous nurseryman Harry Johnson on his second South American expedition. The plant eventually grows to tree-size proportions but even solitary stems, 7-9 cm in diameter, are worth cultivating for the colorful spines which can be either long or short. These cacti are perfect for rockeries, where they will give your garden structural height or as potted plants on a sunny patio. Either way you are assured of many years of joy.

They grow in sandy or gravel soils on hillsides and in rocky crevices. They range in size from large tree like species, to small species such as Echinopsis chamaecereus, the peanut cactus. They have large, showy flowers which seldom last longer than a day; however they are such prolific bloomers that they can be covered with flowers for days on end. Echinopsis is distinguished from other genera by the length of the flower tube, the form and size of their stems, and from where the flowers occur on the stem.           Some common names include hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus and Easter lily cactus.

Echinopsis can be grown as pot plants and make interesting features on a sunny veranda. They also make an attractive addition to a rockery or water-wise garden. Echinopsis chiloensis is a tree-like cactus with basal-branching structures. It can grow to a height of 8 m tall. The stems are 10-12.5 cm in diameter with 10-17 low-notched ribs and large whitish areoles, 1-4 central spines (5 cm long) and 8-12 radial spines (4 cm long). The spines are yellowish at first, then grayish. It produces white flowers from spring to late summer. Echinopsis chiloensis is a drought-tolerant cactus and is suitable for growing in a container. Propagation is by seeds or stem cuttings.  

Stenocereus is an easy to grow genus comprised of predominantly large, shrubby or tree-like columnar cacti. It is widespread from the Southern United States, throughout Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and into Northern South America. The genus name is derived from the Greek word “ stenos ” which means narrow and the Latin word “ cereus ” which means candle. The genus has been enlarged by the addition of species from several other genera.            A close relative is the peculiar chinoa or chende cactus, Polaskia chende. Stenocereus species mostly flower at night and are pollinated by moths and bats. Some species, like Stenocereus martinezii, Stenocereus pruinosus and Stenocereus thurberi bear delicious and refreshingly edible fruit similar to that of the Dragon Fruit Cactus, Hylocereus. They make excellent rockery plants and can also be grown in large pots. Stenocereus species are easy to grow and cold resistant to as low as -4°C, but only for short periods.  The Organ Pipe Cactus, Stenocereus thurberi, is a species of cactus native to Mexico and the United States. The species is found in rocky desert. It is locally known as pitaya dulce, Spanish for "sweet pitaya" or sweet cactus fruit. This cactus species has several narrow stems that rise vertically, growing from a single short trunk just above the ground level. These stems are about 15 cm thick and grow to a height of 4.9 m however it has been known to reach 7.0 to 7.9 meters. These stems rarely branch but rather grow annually from the tip of the last growth. The plant also produces fruit about the size of a tennis ball. Beneath the fruit's spiny exterior is red flesh that tastes better than watermelon. The fruit are spiny at first but loses its spines when the fruit are mature and ready to be eaten.
