Cutest cactus!

I love the unique and strangeness of this cactus! It came packed like it was a piece of glass, and I appreciate any company that has that kind of respect for their customers. I also am collabing with them!

Looks just like the picture! Mine is actually larger. Beautifully packaged! No damage or loose soil. I'm impressed by this plant and the other 3 I ordered. They all arrived in perfect condition. I also ordered the large insulated bag and 120 hr heat pack. The heat pack was still warm after 3 days. The bag is larger than I expected for the price and well made. I will definitely order from this company again.

I was a little disappointed as I received a larger cactus with the smaller pot . So it has to be balanced . But it is still
Nice . I would have liked the smaller cactus .
