Why Choose Our Unique Cactus and Succulents

There are so many benefits that make our succulents and cactus plants a wonderful choice!

The main reason so many people love our succulents and cactus plants is down to their beautiful appearance. Each species of succulent and cacti we sell boasts its own unique characteristics and charm.

Elegance

For example, our ornamental Curly Jade Plant radiates elegance. This whimsical plant gets its name for its wavy, glossy leaves that radiate jade green hues that offer endless charm, making it a wonderful centrepiece plant.

Colour

Or perhaps you want to add a pop of colour to your collection, our flaming Firestick Plant won’t disappoint! This fiery plant features striking red and orange sculptural foliage that will add a kick of vibrancy and contemporary allure to your garden oasis!

Despite their beautiful appearance, it doesn’t take much to keep our range of succulents and cacti looking their best! All they need is a well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging and root rot, ample sunlight, and the occasional watering, making these plants super low-maintenance.

Low Maintenance

If you’re a novice green thumb, or simply someone with a busy lifestyle, there’s no better option than our easy-going succulents and cacti plants!

Wildlife

If you’re enthusiastic about wildlife, you’ll be pleased to know we offer many succulents and cactus plants that draw in all kinds of critters, including pollinating bees, butterflies, and birds. For instance, our gorgeous Heartleaf Ice Plant features dainty heart-shaped foliage coupled with vibrant pink blooms that attract pollinators. This plant will instantly transform your garden into a buzzing botanical metropolis bursting with biodiversity, while also supporting local ecosystems — a fabulous choice for environmentally conscious green thumbs!

Limited Space

Finally, if your home garden or outdoor landscape has limited space, our succulent and cactus plants are a perfect fit! Because these plants are compact, and thrive in tighter spaces, be it a small patch in your flower bed or a mini pot on your shelf, they are wonderful space-saving plants.

Whether you have a little balcony garden or a cosy apartment, our small but mighty succulents and cacti are a great match!

Is Cactus a Good House Plant?

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!

Are Succulents the Same as Cactus?

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. 

Can You Plant Cacti and Succulents Together?

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.

Should Succulents Be Potted in Cactus Soil?

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!
