Assorted CactI
Assorted Cacti (Various species)
Assorted Cacti offer a curated mix of sculptural, low-water succulents with bold textures, forms, and occasional blooms. Compact, architectural habits thrive in bright indoor spots and sunny patios, adding modern structure to containers and grouped displays.
Distinctive Features
Diverse silhouettes, colors, and spine patterns create high contrast compositions with minimal care. Many species flower in season under strong light, extending interest beyond foliage and form.
Growing Conditions
- Sun Exposure: Bright light to full sun; acclimate gradually to avoid scorch.
- Soil: Gritty, fast-draining cactus mix with added perlite or pumice.
- Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the mix to dry completely before the next watering.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 9 to 11 outdoors; grow indoors elsewhere.
- Mature Size: Varies by species; in containers typically 3 to 12 in tall and 3 to 6 in wide over several years.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Sculptural forms and textures create a striking accent in small spaces.
- Desks and Shelves: Compact size fits workspaces and bookcases without crowding.
- Windowsills: Perform well in bright exposures with minimal upkeep.
- Dish Gardens: Mix species in shallow bowls for layered texture.

Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Soak thoroughly and drain; withhold water until the mix is fully dry.
- Pruning: Remove spent flowers and offsets with clean tools as needed.
- Fertilizing: Feed lightly with diluted cactus fertilizer in spring and summer only.
- Mulching: Top-dress with horticultural grit to stabilize plants and keep crowns dry.
- Notes: Protect from frost and cold drafts; handle carefully to avoid spines and rotate for even growth.
