🌿 Live Arrival Guarantee
We carefully pack and ship every plant to arrive healthy and ready to grow.
If your plant arrives damaged or unhappy, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and we’ll replace it or issue store credit — no plant parent left behind.
Please note that a heat pack must be purchased from November - March in order to leverage our Live Arrival Guarantee as we cannot guarantee plant survival in cold weather conditions.
🌵🌸 Gymnocalycium – The Button Cactus with a Surprise Bloom 🌸🌵
Say hello to Gymnocalycium, the adorably round, ribbed cactus that looks like a perfect desert pebble… until it throws out a massive flower like a botanical mic drop. With its tidy shape, minimal spines, and blooms that rival your grandma’s roses, this cactus is low-key with a flair for drama.
☀️ Chill with the Sun – Loves bright indirect light or morning sun. Too much intense heat? Nah, Gymno likes it bright but balanced, like a cactus who reads poetry and hydrates.
💦 Low Water, No Worries – Let that soil completely dry out between waterings. It’s built for desert survival, not daily pampering. Water it deeply, then ignore it like a true cactus connoisseur.
🌸 Blooms That Break the Rules – When happy, it sends up giant pastel blooms that practically outshine the plant itself. Pink, white, yellow—each Gymno has its own flower power moment, and when it shows up, it's a whole vibe.
🌿 Small. Sculptural. Surprisingly Extra. – Whether you’re starting a cactus collection or just want a desk buddy with personality, Gymnocalycium brings easy charm, structural beauty, and occasional floral fireworks.
Add this desert gem to your cart—because low effort + surprise blooms = plant parent win.
Plant is shipped bare root with no soil. Plant is growers choice. If you like a particular photo please email to inquire if the plant is still available.
🥶 COLD WEATHER WARNING
It’s officially “Don’t Let Your Plants Die” Season.
Winter’s creeping in like an overwatered fungus gnat — and your tropicals, succulents, and carnivorous cuties are not here for the frostbite.
🔥 Plant Heat Pads are in stock
Perfect for boxes of babies in transit or giving your windowsill darlings a cozy, root-warming spa experience.
Plant Sizing Guide
What Size Am I Getting? Let's Break It Down.
We get it—plant sizes can be confusing. Is a “small” the size of a golf ball or a grapefruit? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Below is a quick guide to help you understand what each size means when shopping our plants. Measurements refer to the plant body, not including the pot (unless noted).
Tiny
- Baby plants or starter plugs. May be rooted or freshly cut. 0.5"–1.5" wide.
- Example: Butterwort plug, small seedling
Small
- Young plant, well-rooted, 1.5"–3" wide or tall.
- Example: Aeonium cutting, sundew cluster
Medium
- Established plant, 3"–5" wide/tall. Ready for repotting or display.
- Example: 2–3 year-old cactus, flowering flytrap
Large
- Mature plant, 5"–8" wide/tall. Great for centerpieces or statement planters.
- Example: Dioscorea elephantipes, pitcher plant
XL (Collector Size)
- Rare or mature specimen, 8"+ or unusually large or sculptural in form.
- Example: Caudex giants, multi-head aeoniums
📦 Note:
- Pot sizes (if included) are listed separately on product pages.
- Some species naturally stay small—even large ones might only be a few inches wide. Check individual listings for details.
- Photos are of representative plants—your plant may vary slightly (because nature’s not into clones).
