I have been fascinated by these desert plants for a couple years now and finally found the creativity to set up a nice indoor planter with a half dozen or so in it.
I ordered these sometime in October, and the temp in the Northeast was unseasonably cold. The delivery driver luckily put the package in my truck instead of leaving it on the porch. And still after this close call i was lazy and left them sitting, bare-rooted, on my dining room table for several days before planting. These plants are much more cold-hardy than i would have thought, and have thrived in the months since transplanting.
The planting tips say to water sparingly and they are not kidding, once a month may even be too much in the winter. When they start to get shriveled, it's almost time to water.
Please check out the photo i've uploaded.
I will be buying more of these in the spring or summer, they make EXCELLENT gifts.

Bought several cactus as a gift, two of them arrived damaged but I was not told this by the receiver for a period of time so didn't get back to the seller otherwise I would have. I don't think I would order plants through the mail again, at least not from the seller (wasn't Amazon) but was through Amazon. Also, they give you information about the plants so you kind of know what you are buying and the history of the plant, which I thought was quite interesting, it would have been nice if there had been a bit of information supplied in the mailing that told you about the plant and how to care for it - especially when it was being sent as a gift. Nothing, just disheveled plants, nothing to show plant names, how to care for ... I think a small info write up on each plant would have been nice since it was a gift.

This is the cools't lil cactus plant I've seen As soon as i saw this i had to get it. With out the flower in it they look like little butts tee hee! XD but i very much enjoy it. i cant wait till it grows more of them and flower bloom on it :))
