I ordered two Ferocactus from gosucculent.com recently. They were the most sickly looking cactus I ever received.I also loved that they wrote on the paper the plants were wrapped in...care opening spines! Like I didn't know cacti had spines.I would be embarrassed to sell the garbage they sent me.

Thanks madaxeman for responding! That is quite funny that they would feel the need to warn you about the spines. I think I will check into them more before placing an order!!!

GP,

Order from miles2go.com or arid lands. There are a few other sites, too, that are dependable, trustworthy, etc.. Do a search for 'mail order' on this site - this question was asked not long ago but I'm too lazy to find it.

Thanks for the tip! I should have done the research to see if the question had been asked. Taking the 'lazy road' myself.

Here's most of my bookmarks for C&S nurseries.

Many of these specialize in rare species and some prices reflect that, but most have reasonably priced plants as well. I have personally ordered from Arid Lands, Bigfoot Collections, Grigsby, Out of Africa, and just placed on order with Miniatree. I had very good luck with them and I believe the other vendors have good reputations as well, but you should do a search to be sure.
