Well the top of him anyway! Gary is our biggest, single headed, globular cactus at 2 feet wide and weighs around 60kg! Echinocactus grusonii like Gary have been known to grow to a meter wide.

We source our plants from a variety of places that include purchased seed and home made seed too. Growing cacti from seed is incredibly rewarding for us but takes a very long time!

We often get asked "do all cacti flower"? And the answer is yes! Some plants only need to be a year or two old to flower but do your research as others take years.

Curious Cacti started from selling spare cacti from our collection. Many plants from this original collection are still with us today but our years of collecting always means that space is at a premium.

Among the plants we sell are some that are very sought after and can be quite difficult to find for sale anywhere else and many of these rarities come from our collection. 

In our collection we have a couple of variegated plants that offer colour all year round. We sometimes offer vareigated plants in our shop so keep an eye out to add one to your collection too!
