What you’ll receive
A healthy, rooted Cylindropuntia Cholla shipped bare-root. Available in a range of sizes depending on what you select at checkout. No pot or soil included. Natural scarring or marking is normal for this species.

After arrival
Use gloves or tongs when unpacking. Set your Cholla in full sun or a bright window. Let it rest in its new soil for 2–3 days before the first watering so the roots can settle.

Transplant tip
Plant in a gritty, fast-draining cactus mix. Keep the joints upright and stable. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the root ball. After transplanting, wait 5–7 days before giving a light watering.
