The Boxed Cactus Kits are a fun gift or project packaged in a southwest desert design box. Each cactus in the kits comes in a plastic pot the cactus has been growing in. We hand pick a variety of cactus plants and assemble them into a boxed cactus kit. There is some extra soil, decorative rock, and a signpost in each kit. Some additional soil may be desired. We have designed and offer 3 styles of Cactus Dish pots for the kit. Saguaro with Mountains, Kokopelli with Pueblo buildings, and our image design, which contains chilis, a gecko, a cactus, and a hummingbird all in one pot. These cactus dishes are made of high-quality Hi-Fire Stoneware pottery. We have a southwest hexagon shaped ceramic pot in 4 color options with 6 different images carved into the pot. We also offer one style of terra-cotta clay pot to match your preference and decor. The cactus plants pictured are a sample of our assortment. The actual cactus in an item or garden purchased will always vary from what is pictured. Care and Planting instructions are printed on the box. The customer assumes responsibility and liability if requesting shipment during freezing conditions.
The Boxed Cactus Kits are generally able to be shipped within 3 to 5 business days
Cactus bloom flowers with the warmth of the sun between 70 and 90 degrees with sufficient water. (This is generally February to April for us.) No fertilizer is needed to make a cactus bloom, but if you feel the need, be sure a fertilizer is designed specifically for cactus. Prior to the flower, most cactus will have what looks like little cotton balls in the crevasses of the plant. From this is where the flower will emerge.
If you place your garden outside, it will dry out faster, so increase the watering instructions as needed. We recommend following the guideline that a cactus garden should completely dry out within approximately 3 to 5 days after watering and remain dry for at least a few days and up to two weeks before watering again. This also depends on indoor or outdoor location, and temperature. Direct sunlight on a cactus that is not acclimated or on a cactus in temperatures approximately over 90 degrees can potentially burn the plant. We have offered the above recommendations that have proven to work well with our customers over many years, but understand that cacti are plants, and there is no perfect guideline that encompasses every environment. For a basic indoor ceramic pot garden guideline you can try 1 ounce of water for each inch in diameter size of the pot every 3 to 4 weeks. Cacti are very slow-growing and generally do not need transplanting for several years.
Signpost: The cactus gardens will come with a signpost that says Cactus Territory unless otherwise specified. To choose a different signpost, you can choose from a few options at checkout (Arizona, Grand Canyon, or Sedona,). For other options, you will need to call or email us from the contact us page.
