Free cactus!

Matthew from Ilam

The wind has blown some stems of our cactus down, so we're offering them FREE to a good home! These do well in a sunny but sheltered spot with a northern exposure. Should take just by planting, and water them well to get them started.

The wind has blown some stems of our cactus down, so we're offering them FREE to a good home! These do well in a sunny but sheltered spot with a northern exposure. Should take just by planting, and water them well to get them started.

HUGE, beautiful flowers bloom in January, just after Christmas.

Note: These are VERY prickly--leather gloves will NOT help! If you want these, please come prepared to handle them. I move them with a set of old Healing 10 Speed handlebars, but bungee cords or old bicycle inner tubes will work as well.

Please phone/txt 022 050 3671.
