We’re a small cacti and succulent nursery in Victoria, specializing in rare and unique plants.
Everything we offer is grown slowly and carefully—by me—ensuring each plant is strong, resilient, and ready to thrive in your collection.

Copiapoa - cactus collection royalty, slow-growing plants from Chile with frosty skin and dark spines.
Ariocarpus - renowned for their sculptural tubercles, including hybrids and cultivars like Godzilla, Maruibo and Cauliflower.
Astrophytum - from classic star-shaped asterias to bold Kikko forms and striking variegates.
Gymnocalycium - textured bodies, rugged spines and impressive flowers.
Mammillaria - diverse and collectible, from compact clusters to standout bloomers.
Eriosyce, Echinopsis, Sulcorebutia, Rebutia, Conophytum, Lithops and many more rare cactus and succulents.
From tiny seed-grown miniatures to mature specimens, we grow and ship premium plants to collectors across Australia.
