Flowering Cactus Collection
Mixed flowering species
A mixed set chosen from whatever is at flowering size on the benches that week — usually a combination of gymnocalycium, echinopsis, mammillaria and rebutia. Every plant in the set is old enough to bloom in its first season with you, which is the whole point.
We pick for contrast in form and spination rather than shipping three of the same thing in different pots. Tell us in the order notes if you want a particular colour bias and we will try.
- Every plant in the set is already of flowering size
- Chosen for contrast in shape, spination and flower colour
- Better value than buying the same plants individually
Inclusive of pot and mix. Delivery Rs 350, free over Rs 5,000.

How to look after your Flowering Cactus Collection
Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.
- Light
- Full sun. Four to six hours of direct light minimum — a rooftop, balcony rail or south-facing sill. Acclimatise gradually if the plant has been indoors.
- Water
- Soak thoroughly, then let the mix dry completely before watering again. Fortnightly in summer heat, and nothing at all from mid-November to late February.
- Humidity
- Low. Good airflow matters more than humidity — stagnant, damp air invites fungal spotting.
- Soil
- Gritty mineral mix: coarse sand, perlite and a little compost. Our plants ship in this blend already.
- Feeding
- Low-nitrogen cactus feed once in April and once in July.
- Temperature
- 10–45°C. Genuinely tolerates Pakistani summer heat. Keep dry and above 5°C in winter.
If something goes wrong
Soft brown patch at soil level
Why it happens: Rot from winter watering.
What to do: Cut above the rot with a sterile blade, callus the cut for a week in shade, then re-root in dry mix.
Pale, stretched, narrow new growth
Why it happens: Etiolation from too little light.
What to do: Increase sun gradually over two weeks. The stretched section will not shrink back, but new growth returns to normal.
White cottony specks in the crevices
Why it happens: Mealybug.
What to do: Dab each cluster with a cotton bud dipped in rubbing alcohol, and repeat weekly for a month.
