Cactus plants make exceptional houseplants! If you’re looking for a low-maintenance plant that looks great, cacti are the perfect botanical companion. These unique plants are super hardy and drought-tolerant, making them a breeze to look after — especially if you live a busy lifestyle or simply forget to water plants!

If you want to add cactus plants to your botanical collection, shop our complete Cactus collection at Local Botanist and get ready-potted cacti delivered straight to your door! 

Succulents and cacti have some differences that set them apart. Interestingly, all cacti can be considered succulents,  but only some succulents can be recognised as cacti. This is because cacti have special features, such as needle-like spines, which not all succulents have. 

Despite the odd difference between these plants, they are both super easy to care for! Most varieties thrive on minimal watering, making them incredibly low-maintenance and convenient plants to keep. 

If you want to grow your plant collection with some easy-going succulents and/or cacti, head over to our Cactus and Succulent Plant collection at Local Botanist today and explore a vibrant assortment of unique and exotic species. 

Because succulents and cacti share similar, and sometimes the same, maintenance needs, it’s perfectly fine to put them together. Succulents, forest cacti, and desert cacti are particularly well-suited companions that will happily sit and grow together.

We have loads of charming cacti and succulent plants that harmoniously pair together, like our versatile Agave ‘Blue Glow’ plant which effortlessly pairs with most Echeveria species, like Aloe Vera. 

If you want to diversify your botanical collection, check out our Cactus and Succulent range. Shop our diverse range of vibrant, characterful species that you can mix and match online today at Local Botanist.

Yes, most succulents can be potted in cactus soil. This is because cacti and succulents both need well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging and root rot. However, not all succulent varieties are as drought-tolerant as cacti, making them better suited to a special succulent potting mix. 

To make life easier for our customers, we provide a range of ready-potted succulents, so you don’t need to worry about finding the right mix for your plant. Shop our complete collection of Succulents and Cacti online at Local Botanist today!
