🌿 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.
Meet Gymnocalycium quehlianum, a charming, globe-shaped cactus beloved for its beautifully banded ribs and generous, soft-toned flowers. The body features smooth, rounded ribs with subtle striping in shades of green and blue-gray, giving it a polished, almost sculpted look.
When it blooms, this cactus truly shines — producing delicate pink to pale rose flowers that are oversized compared to the plant itself. It’s elegant, compact, and refreshingly easy to care for, making it perfect for beginners who want blooms and collectors who appreciate classic cactus forms.
Sweet-looking. Tough as nails. Quietly impressive.
👉 Planter pot is not included. Plant ships bare root.
👉 No International Shipping. Plant is U.S.A. grown from seed.
Reminder to Order a Heat Pack if Cold
Cold weather shipping alert ❄️
If temperatures in your area drop below 40°F, we strongly recommend adding a heat pack to your order to protect your cactus during transit and ensure it arrives firm, healthy, and stress-free.
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).
