Overall great service and I'll definitely be back for more cacti soon.
Suits my son's Bulbasaur pot holder perfectly,

Thanks for the lovely review and I am really happy that your plants were well received. This has really made my day :-)
They seem happy enough despite living in the South Pennines where is very humid. They live on my windowsill because of the harsh winter. I followed the advice about watering and they seem to thrive on neglect, at least until summer.
You can tell these cactus are grown with a lot of love and care. Extremely well packaged and very healthy looking on arrival.
I will be back, again and again. An outstanding collection on the site to choice from
Thanks. 🌵❤️🤘
Shortly after sending Byron money for allowing me to look at the pictures on his site "onlylophophorafans" (aka "cactocereus.co.uk"), a red van turned up outside my home and a man in a uniform emerged from the driver's side. He came to the door and rang the doorbell. I opened the door and to my surprise, the man knew my name and after confirmation, he handed me a mysterious cardboard box. My name was on the box, as was my address. How this smartly dressed stranger knew my name and address is beyond me, but I can only summise the man was part of a mystic network of phychic delivery agents, the delivery arm of the wizardy looking people who must be behind these boxes.
I put my box down and continue to go about my day. As the sun went down and the house started settling into its evening routine, the box suddenly started rattling like it was full of jumping beans! Cautiously I opened the box to find four figures, lovingly and carefully wrapped in paper not dissimilar to Andrex like tiny mummies, and a bag of soil from its native land, nestled in a bit of newspaper- was included as a clue to their origin and age? Was it part of a conspiracy involving a proof of life?
Suddenly, the tiny mummies started moving and hopping about, desperately squeeking "let me out! Let me out! I gingerly picked up some scissors, and crouching down so that the packages were at eye level, I carefully cut the tape keeping whoever was inside the mummies trapped and I gently unravel their dressings. Peeping out of each "mummy" there was a small green face, topping a little greenish white carrot shaped body, swathed in strand like appendages which strangely, resembled roots. The first face blinked at me with it's wrinkly eyes. "Mummy?" it stammered hopefully, doing its best to look cute. Of course my first thoughts were of shock, then distrust, then suspicion, but somehow, something assured me that these little green lifeforms were harmless and nothing to fear, and that indeed I was destined to be their Mummy. Within minutes of opening their tissue paper tombs, the little beings were desperately tugging at the bag of soil with their thin tendril like appendages. I scrabbled around for a suitable container, and carefully placed each in some of the soil, and gradually, using a tiny shovel, I built the soil up to what I decided must be their chins.
I notice that they look pretty thirsty, but just as I was tempted to give them a drink an electronic notification droid made my mobile phone spring to life. A wise man had somehow known about my arrivals, and was passing on the ancient knowledge required for the safekeeping of my new charges. He forewarned the dangers of watering these mythical creatures too soon, and that they may only be watered a week after their appearance, only once a week, and only between May and October OR ELSE! My phone quivering in my hand, I threw the watering can I had prepared to the floor. My green children needed protecting! The evils of too much water, too much sun and not enough drainage posed a credible threat to their existence! It was now my duty to protect them, but how was I to know their purpose was really to protect me?
"We need names" squeeked the wrinkleyest one. My eyes widened. What a responsibility, to name these little mythical beings! I needn't have worried, they had already been on the internet and decided on their names which I agreed to honour. The wrinkleyest one had decided in Methuselah, he already looked the part and quite fancied living to 969. The one with the heightened self-worth called himself "Matana", the gift. The big fat one took "Garfat", a portmanteau he'll likely regret and change later in life when he "finds" himself. The big dumb one, having already become a bit too codependent on one of the other tenants of the windowsill who was a Bridgesii named Ren (because he was a little prick), allowed Ren to give him the monica of "Stimpy".
The morning after a prolonged, over elaborate naming ceremony and after party where the police were summoned no less than four times to yell "Calm yer bits", we were awoken by a chilling scream. Rushing to the door, we could see a crowd forming on the street. There, abandoned in the middle of the road, was a basket of puppies! Alone, cold, frightened, hungry for numnums and in ever so much danger, kids on e-scooters swerved to avoid the precious pups whos plaintiff whimpers echoed between the sound of whirring e-scooter motors, and yet still no one was brave enough to save the precious souls at risk on the median line of the road. "Lophophora, UNITE" barked Methuselah, springing to action the Lophs formed an orderly line, marching on their rooty appendages they pushed their way to the front of the crowd. Even simple Stimpy was now stopping poking himself in the eye-hole with a pencil, and started levitating. A beam of light shot out of his drain-hole, and a ball of energy grew around him. Reaching critical mass, the ball of light exploded, stopping time in its fallout area, while Matana backflipped like a martial arts master to soothe the scared puppies in the road, using his appendages to scratch each pup behind the ear reassuringly. Garfat, his powers now becoming apparent, grew to enormous proportions and rolled to join Matana and the puppies in the centre of the road. Using what turned out to be psychokinetic powers, Methuselah suddenly appeared by their side, and using his thought powers, beamed the basket of puppies into Garfat's now massive face hole. By now, Stimpy was flagging from the immense effort of pausing time, beads of sweat forming and rolling down his green face, his beam of light starting to faulter, and just as Garfat managed to roll to the pavement, puppies safely in his face-hole, Stimpy collapsed, exhausted from the gargantuan effort of splitting time and matter. "You can water us now" gasped Methuselah, "our substrate is dry".
Hooray! Yelled the still useless crowd, "The Lophs have saved the puppies!" Just then, a very posh limousine pulls up... who should have seen the whole thing happen from a safe distance but King Charles! "One has some of these little chaps growing in ones private greenhouse" he said. "I have just the thing", disappearing back into his limo. He re-emerged with a platinum, diamond encrusted watering can. "One always waters them with Evian, but I'm afraid they'll just have to accept Voss" and that was the story of the first time I watered my Lophs.
The end.

I have read this a few times and it makes me chuckle every time. Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review and lovely story :-).
Peace
They arrived plump, healthy, fantastic roots, lovingly packaged for the journey, and I am so happy to have sourced someone who clearly loves what he does to buy through. It's fantastic to be a part of something as special as being the guardian of sacred cacti!
These little beauties have clearly been well looked after.
Very very pleased.
Will certainly be coming back for more purchases.

Thanks for the review, really appreciated. I must say, thats quite the setup and would be very interested to see how they turn out. If you could send me some update pictures down the line? Only thing I would like to confirm, is there drainage in that tank? I see there is a hell of a lot of area below the pups which is good and you should get some amazing taproot growth over the years.
The cancelled order was refunded and will be sent free of charge when back in stock.
Great communication from the seller. I will definitely order again
I will definitely be purchasing more soon
Cheers, Ryan
Will definitely order from him again.
Byron sent info on how to care for it, emailed me to make sure it arrived and contacted royal mail when I told him it didn't.
Stellar customer service and great cacti, I highly recommend this site and will be using it again should I plan to purchase more cacti.
came very well packed and arrived in perfect condition
