Windowsill Cactus

Windowsill Cactus specializes in cactus varieties as 4-season houseplants.

Bare-root Plants & Cactus Growing Medium

All plants are shipped Bare-root, and globular cacti are shipped with growing medium but no flower pots. Globular cacti orders include a separate bag of growing medium to use for potting the Bare-root plant. The growing medium is NEW cactus soil. Epiphyte cacti and all other plant varieties are shipped Bare-root, but with NO growing medium or flower pot. These plants will do very well on most any house plant potting mixes which are available in greenhouses.

Bulk Cactus Growing Medium

We are changing our cactus growing and seed starting medium to make them greener. The reason for this change it to eliminate the use of volcanic rock materials like obsidian and perlite. These light weight materials, as opposed to heavier materials like granite and serpentine, are a limited resource in high demand. This is our hope to contribute to a greener world and bring less pressure on our earth's limited resources. We hope to have the new recipes brewed and working in 2013, but if it takes longer we'll keep working on them. Bulk cactus medium should be available mid June 2013.

We have been caring for all cactus and succulent plants organically using organic gardening methods. However, because of one species of insect commonly known as, root mealy bugs we now make one exception and use one non-natural product which we now include in our on our insect control information page.

Seeds may be purchased year round.

We are no longer shipping plants in the months of January and February, so plants will not be for sale from the last week in December and into the beginning of March.

Succulents and cactus plants are especially beautiful and intriguing for anyone who loves to keep house plants in their living spaces. In a four seasons climate home it is almost impossible for succulents including cacti to grow as they would in natural habitat, but many varieties will do well with care. Our hope is to contribute to the understanding of growing these species as house plants and to serve people who are dedicated to their plants as long term companions.
