Good places to get Cactus

[daiv]

Sounds good Dustin! Can't wait to hear what you are going to get. I think Selenicereus is my favorite Epi genus.

lol Tony, I'll be back out there one of these days. Hopefuly to move, but I'd like to be a lil further from the city, like where all those wind mills are off of I-10. About the Epi's tho, as I currently do not have any, it is a unknown if I will get addicted to them. What am I saying after these 2 cuttings I orderd I'll probably turn my yard into a hanging jungle. lol

His ebay plants are a bit on the pricey side too.

Nearly all of mine, I have found on eBay. Being Canadian, I am taking my chances from buying from US sellers but so far, most of them are here safe and sound and in beautiful shape. They have even written cactus on the box and customs has let them go through. They are all shipped bare rooted. One person wrote garden ornaments. I had 6 little beauties shipped from England. Bought on eBay. I am expecting a few more this week. The fun thing about eBay is I can find different types than the typical ones sold in the nurseries here.

On a side note, I have ordered too many for my windows and now I am trying to think of brilliant ideas for them. I loved the picture someone posted (sorry forgot who) of their many cacti in a terra cotta planter, all left in the little pots. I am going to do some smaller versions of that. That will make it look like less planters and will allow me to keep them all.

Note to self. STAY OFF EBAY!

I'm just wondering if there are any nurseries or vendors in Canada that have a fairly wide selection of cacti/seeds in stock? The local stores, they only carry the same old stock and a limited selection of species.

Besides ebay, there are very limited Canada based vendors. I would most likely try to avoid international sellers if possible, just to prevent risk of seizures or anything due to CITES or whatever.

Or perhaps there are vendors that other Canadians have ordered from recently, that they know or feel secure?

Thanks for any info possible!

Ordered some seeds today from an interesting place, not specializing in cacti or succulents. I thought I would give it a shot and let everyone know how it goes. Minimum order of $15 so I bought 100 Astrophytum hybrid seeds, 100 Echinopsis mixture seeds, 100 Rebutia rubriflora seeds, and 100 Trichocereus pachanoi seeds. I will let you know when they come in, what I think, and how well the seeds germinate!

I just bumped into this website from New Zealand:

http://www.cacti.co.nz/index.html

Maybe everybody living there already knows of it, but it looks like a neat place anyway.

has anyone used sacred succulents? I heard they were a good supplier and I am waiting on an order from them.

I got some plants from this guy recently and they were all nice plants. Sent a number of "freebies" along too!

When you look at the plant list pay attention, the sowing date is on most items. Some are very young and you get a very small seedling. Be forewarned, he doesn't have any of the Geohintonia he has listed.

Other than that, everything went smoothly!
