3.5 Inch Assorted Cacti

3.5 Inch Assorted Cacti (Various species)

3.5 Inch Assorted Cacti offer a curated mix of compact, low-water succulents with bold textures, spines, and forms. Their tidy, architectural shapes thrive in bright indoor spots and sunny patios, adding modern structure to desks, windowsills, and small planters.

Distinctive Features

Diverse species provide contrasting silhouettes, colors, and spine patterns, with occasional seasonal flowers in suitable light. Slow growth and compact habits make them easy, long-lasting accents for tight spaces.

Growing Conditions

• Soil: Gritty, fast-draining cactus mix with added perlite or pumice.
• Water: Water thoroughly, then allow soil to dry completely before the next watering.
• USDA Hardiness Zones: 10 to 11 outdoors; grow indoors elsewhere.
• Mature Size: Typically 3 to 8 in tall and 2 to 4 in wide in a 3.5 in pot; varies by species.
