Cactus kingdom is a really nice botanical experience in xerophytes (needless to say "hard-to-find" cacti), it is obviously not a standard nursery, it requires a large effort to keep it running due to... See more

Excellent service, seeds, and supplies!

Fun seed selection, great customer service, and premium cactus substrate that can't be beat! What more could you ask for? Seeds germinate and are true to what is ordered. I've had wonderful support from this business through shipping problems. My cacti and succulents have never looked better, since transplanting them into Cactus Kingdom premium substrate over a year ago! It's the perfect medium for a chronic over-waterer like me. ;-)

Got to me

I ordered just before the mail strike from cactus kingdom and one of their competitors. My order from cactus kingdom came with no problems. The other company wanted an extra $80 to deliver.

Garbage seeds, garbage customer service.

They sell garbage seeds then blame the buyer. I had bought another 30 seeds somewhere else 2 weeks after and sowed those hand have 21 pop so far from them. The seller still blames me for not knowing how to sprinkle seeds.

Reply from Cactus Kingdom

Firstly, it’s worth noting the irony that you yourself mentioned achieving over 80% germination with the first batch of seeds — yet this was never acknowledged publicly or in any feedback. The second batch, by your own account, did not perform as expected for reasons that remain unclear.

We’d like to clarify that our seeds are regularly tested for viability, and we stand by their quality. Germination outcomes can vary widely depending on factors such as soil composition, temperature, light, and watering — all of which are beyond our control once the seeds leave our facility.

Additionally, when we requested details about your methods or photos to help troubleshoot, there was a reluctance to share any information.

We’re always happy to assist and even offer replacements when customers are reasonable, courteous, and act in good faith. However, respectful communication is essential — rudeness, threats, or defamatory comments make constructive resolution impossible.

We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best of luck with your growing efforts moving forward.

Easy to purchase

Easy to purchase, and quick shipping. Emailed them a question about my order, they replied within a couple hours. So far so good, seeds have already started popping, after only a week.

I was expecting larger cactus pads

I was expecting larger cactus pads. The ones I was expecting came from large species but were very small. I understand some plants are naturally smaller species but I expected a bit more. Hard to grow a large species of cactus when the mother pads are 3” wide.

Neil, it’s unclear what the original expectation was. Initially, you asserted that we had sent different items, but after we provided photos clearly matching the listing, the tone of the discussion changed. You ordered $8 cactus pads... and we even included extra pads as a courtesy. This is the first time we’ve received a complaint of this kind. Expectations should be managed accordingly.
